    Can't drag window from one monitor to another seamlessly


    I'm using Windows 10 Pro x64 and I have two monitors. I have no problem with respect to their orientation re which is monitor 1 and 2. Moving the mouse from left to right, right to left is correct.My issue is moving a window from one monitor to the other. When I grab the top of a window and drag to the other monitor I have to do a partial reveal on the other monitor, release the mouse and move it to the other monitor, pick up the partially moved window and then complete the move. If I don't do that then the window I'm trying to move fills half the monitor it's being moved from. like the way of

    How can I drag a screen display onto an adjoining satellite monitor?

    Hi Stewart,

    In order for us to assist you dragging a screen to your satellite monitor, you can follow these steps:

    • Move the cursor off each of the four screen edges to see if one of them works.
    • If it does, position the monitors in the Display > Screen Resolution window
      to match the physical placement of the monitors.
    In the event that the previous steps failed to work, you can try these:

    • In the display settings just swap the
      Display1 and Display2 Monitors.
    • Drag the Monitor1 display icon and
      drop it on Monitor2 display icon, this would give you the correct alignment of screens.

    Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have further inquiries.
