  • Open control panel
  • Click ease of access
  • Click optimize visual display
  • Scroll down to ‘Make things on the screen easier to see’
  • Now find the section that says ‘Set the thickness of your blinking cursor’
  • Select a number from the drop down menu, there is a preview section for you to review
