    This is both the question and the answer. I hope it helps someone.


    This was tested on a duel screen setup but guessing it also affects 3 screens etc.


    I was finding that my mouse was particularly sticky at the edge of the screen when moving to the second screen, I found myself moving the mouse faster between screens to try and get to screen 2. Then I found that it would move just fine at a particular point, either at the top of the screen or at the bottom of the screen.


    I never new that that the height position of the monitors in the display settings window had an effect. I just used to switch them around to get the correct monitor on the correct side.


    Moving them side by side fixed my problem, the mouse now moves freely between monitors. See pictures below.



    How is was:

    How to disable sticky corners in Windows 10

    It seems Microsoft has tried to solve this problem Multi-monitors and the corners of the screen.

    In Windows 7, there is no boundary between monitors and the mouse can move freely across the top of the screen between my 3 monitors, provided I had set their heights equal in display settings. Windows 8 introduced sticky corners. See this question.

    Windows 10 got sticky corners as well. There are a few pixels at the top corners of each display where the mouse cannot cross over onto the other display. One must move the cursor down to avoid this region in order to get to the next display.

    The image shows roughly the region where mouse movement is not permitted in Windows 10, but is allowed in Windows 7.

    Personally, I had no problem with unrestricted mouse movement across the top of my screens - I got used to "aiming" for the x, and the convenience of unrestricted cursor movement. Like all the people who wanted to disable it in W8, I'm wondering if there is a way to disable it in W10.

    Edit to address possible duplicate:

    Although the problem is identical to the one in this question, solutions to solve the problem in W8 involving editing the registry key MouseCornerClipLength do not work in W10, since that registry key is not present in W10. Also adding that key and setting the value doesn't work. I searched the entire registry and couldn't find it in another location. No other W10 keys in the node referenced in the W8 solution are obvious replacements.

    Edit to address possible solutions in comments

    harrymc's suggestion 1 and suggestion 2 that worked for for Windows 8.1 do not work in Windows 10.
     
  3. adusting the boundary and fixing my mouse pad

    Hi guys! I have an issue that I cannot seem to resolve. May you please help me?

    I have an extended screen set up, and the image boundaries of my second screen are far off from the actual screen boundary. for example, I cannot reach the Minimize-Maximize-Close tabs. Is there a quick way to fix that issue?

    Also, for some reason, my mouse pad doesn't register and I am forced to use a USB attached mouse.

    is there anything I can do to resolve these problems?

    Can't move my mouse across boundary between some of monitors

    Hi Ryan,

    Yes, I have updated mouse drivers. As mentioned above, same issue is present with other mices, but is less evident due to sloww polling rate and low resolution.

    Have you tried to reproduce this by aligning your monitors exactly as in my case - two on top of one?

    If you are trying this with a "standard" (non hi-res) mouse, move it slowly over the boundaries.
