Here's how you can change your mouse pointer size and color in Windows 10. While you can configure the mouse DPI settings to make your mouse easier to use, the ability to make your mouse pointer bigger and colorful can be very helpful. Once all tiles are removed, move the mouse cursor at the right edge of the Start menu (you should now get double-sided arrow) and then drag it towards the left of your screen.Īnd if you really want the Windows 7 style Start menu, get the free Classic Shell or the paid StartIsBack++. Reducing your screen resolution could turn out to be an ineffective solution. To unpin a tile, click on it and then click Unpin from Start option. The default width of the Start menu can’t be changed by simply dragging the right-edge but, there is a workaround for it.įor instance, to reduce the default height of the Start menu, hover the mouse cursor over the top-edge of the Start menu to see a double-sided arrow, click, and then drag it towards the bottom of the screen.Īnd if you are not happy with default width of the Start menu and want to get rid of the columns on the right-side of the Start to make the Start menu look like the classic Start menu present in Windows XP and Vista, you need to first unpin all tiles from the right-side of the Start, and then drag the edge of the Start menu to the left. In order to resize the Start menu, just place the mouse pointer at the top or right edge of the Start menu (see the picture below) to reveal a double-sided arrow, click, and then drag inwards or outwards.
