How to turn off mouse acceleration in Windows?

B6C2G7D4A9E5F1K3
I recently upgraded to a new gaming laptop, but I've noticed that my cursor is moving on its own when I'm navigating through windows or playing games. The problem started after I installed the latest drivers for my graphics card. It's not just the cursor movement, but also the mouse acceleration - it feels like the mouse is trying to zoom in and out of the screen automatically. I've tried adjusting the sensitivity settings in the display settings, but that didn't do anything. I'm starting to get frustrated because this is affecting my gaming performance. Can anyone explain to me how to turn off mouse acceleration in Windows?

To disable mouse acceleration in Windows, you can try one of the following methods: 1. Open the Display Settings by right-clicking anywhere on an empty area of the desktop and selecting “Display settings”. 2. In the Display Settings window, click on the “Mouse Settings” tab or section. 3. Look for the “Pointer Options” or “Pointing device options” section and toggle off the switch that says “Enhance pointer precision” or “Adjust cursor speed”. Alternatively, you can also disable mouse acceleration through the Windows Settings app: 1. Click on the Start button and select the “Settings” app. 2. In the Settings app, click on “Devices”. 3. Select “Mouse” from the list of devices. 4. Under “Pointer Options,” toggle off the switch that says “Enhance pointer precision” or “Adjust cursor speed. By disabling mouse acceleration, you should be able to achieve more precise control over your cursor and reduce the zooming effect. Note: Disabling mouse acceleration may require administrator privileges. Make sure to run the Windows Settings app as an administrator to ensure changes take effect.
