    Application opens on the display where the mouse cursor resides


    Hello,

    I am running Windows 10 and having a question about configuring Windows so that an application will show up on the display where the mouse cursor is residing.



    I have two displays and the second display is set up as an extended display. Currently, if I move my my mouse pointer to the display number 2 and click to open an application then the app would show up on the display #1.


    Is it possible to configure Windows so that an application will start up on a display based on where the mouse pointer is currently located?


    Thx

    :)

    No mouse cursor

    Hi,

    It is possible that the system did not recognize the mouse of your computer after it booted up. This can be the reason why you do not see the mouse cursor. Kindly perform a power cycle to refresh the power of the computer. To do this, follow these steps:

    • Shutdown the computer.
    • After shutting it down, remove the battery (if you're using a laptop) and disconnect the computer from the charger.
    • Wait for 1 minute.
    • After 1 minute, attach the battery and turn on the computer.
    • Check if you will see the mouse cursor.

    Let us know how it goes.
