Logitech's SetPoint software would automatically disable "Enhance pointer precision" every boot, which is fine for using Logitech mice-but you might want this option enabled for the laptop's built-in touchpad. For example, you might use both a Logitech mouse and a built-in touchpad on your laptop. This is normally fine, but you may run into issues if you have a touchpad you want to use. These manufacturer tools want to handle mouse pointer precision options on their own, promising to do a better job of it. Razer's Synapse desktop software does the same thing. For example, Logitech's SetPoint tool automatically disables the "Enhance pointer precision" option every boot. The utilities provided by mouse manufacturers often automatically modify this setting. It doesn't make any sense to sync many of these mouse settings, as they need to be configured differently for different mouse hardware on different PCs. Microsoft has chosen to sync your mouse settings-including the "Enhance Pointer Precision" option-by default.

When you enable it, Windows dynamically adjusts the sensitivity of your mouse depending on how fast you move the cursor. This may improve the feel of a Windows laptop's touchpad, but only reduce your accuracy when using a traditional mouse at a desktop PC, which means it can be really annoying when it turns itself on or off. This option, which you can find under Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Mouse > Pointer Options, is an interesting one.
