Maybe you&#8217;re getting older like me and sometimes you have little bit of trouble seeing the mouse pointer. Or maybe the color of the background makes it hard to see the mouse pointer.

No doubt we are the only ones who do, so don&#8217;t go to your geeky neighbor and start talking about Windows sonar effects or she&#8217;ll think you&#8217;re crazy. We call it the sonar effect because of the concentric circles Windows generates to help you find a missing mouse pointer.\u00a0 \u00a0 The sonar effect causes your mouse pointer to pop-up in the center of concentric rings so you can easily find it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">In Windows 10 the sonar effect should already be turned on by default. To find out if yours is turned on, press your Ctrl key right now. Did you see the circles appear around your mouse? If you did, you&#8217;re all set.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">\u00a0If you didn&#8217;t you can turn on the &#8220;sonar effect&#8221; opening Settings &gt; Devices &gt; Mouse &gt; Related Settings &gt; Additional mouse options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2019\/mouseoptions.png\" alt=\"Cloudeight Windows tips\" width=\"502\" height=\"657\" \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><em>Note: If you open the Windows 10 Settings app full-screen, &#8220;Related settings&#8221; \/ &#8220;Additional mouse options&#8221; will appear on the far right side.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">When the Mouse Properties dialog opens (see below) click on the Pointer Options tab,<img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Infoave - Mouse Sonar Effect\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2019\/mouseoptions1.png\" alt=\"Cloudeight Infoave Windows tips\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Make sure the box next to &#8220;Show location of pointer when I press the CTRL key&#8221; is checked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The next time you lose your mouse pointer, just press the CTRL key and Windows will create concentric circles around your pointer to help you find it.
