The settings for disabling the mouse pointer setting can be found in the Local Group Policy Editor. However, the Group Policy Editor is not available in every Windows edition. That is why we have also included the Registry Editor method as an alternative solution.
Method 1: Using the Local Group Policy Editor
The Group Policy is a Windows feature that is used for configuring the different types of advanced settings on a computer. An administrator can apply any specific policy to the system by enabling or disabling it. There is a specific policy setting that can remove the Pointers tab from the Mouse Properties window. Standard users will be unable to change the Pointers for their system. If your computer is equipped with the Local Group Policy Editor, then follow the below steps to see how it works. However, if you are using the Windows 10 Home edition and your system is not equipped with the Local Group Policy Editor, then skip this method.
Method 2: Using the Registry Editor
Another method to disable the Pointers tab is by using the Registry Editor.

We have also included a registry backup step in the below steps, you can use it or skip it, it’s up to you. Follow the below steps and see how it works:
