This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off showing the mouse track for Mouse Gesture in Microsoft for your account in Windows 10 and Windows 11.

The Microsoft Edge web browser is based on Chromium and was released on January 15, 2020. It is compatible with all supported versions of Windows, and macOS. With speed, performance, best in class compatibility for websites and extensions, and built-in privacy and security features.

Starting with Microsoft Edge version 121.0.2237.0 (Canary), the Mouse Gesture feature is now available. This feature provides an easy way for you to complete tasks like scroll forward or backward, open new tab, refresh page, etc... within Microsoft Edge. You can finish a task by pressing and holding the mouse right button to draw certain patterns on a webpage, instead of clicking the buttons or using keyboard shortcuts.
