How to make the cursor large?

Answer
Answer

There are several possible answers:

  1. If your cursor (the blinking insertion point) is normally the height of the text but has gotten very small, then this is a known problem of unknown cause that can be (temporarily) corrected by switching to 500% Zoom and back.
  2. If you just want to make the cursor more easily visible, you can make it fatter or change the blink rate. You can change the blink rate at Control Panel | Keyboard | Speed. You can change the width at Control Panel | Ease of Access Center | Make the computer easier to see.
