Mouse acceleration feature increases the movement of your mouse when you increase the speed at which you move your mouse. This could be a helpful feature on Windows 10, but it can get quite annoying when you need accuracy, for example, when you’re gaming.
Here is a quick guide to turn off mouse acceleration on Windows 10.
In the Start menu, click on the Settings gear icon.
