Windows 10: Change physical monitor size?

Hi,

I have a laptop with a 15,6" UHD screen, and a second external monitor which is 24", but 1080p. Because of the screen resolution difference, Windows assumes my laptop screen is larger than my external monitor, while the physically it's the other way around.

This makes moving windows from screen to screen very annoying, since my smaller laptop screen only has a tiny 'window' which allows my mouse to pass through:

Monitor 1 is 15,6", Monitor 2 is 24". Does anyone know how to change this?

Monitor: Physical size VS resolution issue

I am running two monitors. One is a 4k, 2160 pixels tall that is approximately 15 inches tall in the physical world. Next to it is one that is older, on its side. So 1920 Pixels tall, but Physically 22 inches tall.

On the display settings page, the older monitor appears smaller. This results in being blocked in moving the mouse from new to old screen, either at the top or at the bottom, and a mismatch in where the mouse physically appears when moving from one screen
to the other.

Is there any way to make the relative size and position for settings reflect the physical reality to eliminate the movement mismatch?
