Several accessibility features are available in Windows 11. These functions make working with Windows 11 easier if, for example, you have difficulty or limitations.

If it is not always visible to you where the cursor is located in part of the text, you can adjust the text cursor. The text cursor or text cursor indicator is the dash that shows where the cursor is in text. By default, this indicator is black as a single line and flashes in the text.

Some people have difficulty finding the text cursor in text, so you can adjust this indicator. You can adjust the color, size and thickness. This is how it works.
