Windows 10: Cursor not locked to game screen

So when im playing a game for the past couple weeks Ive realized that my cursor will roll off the screen and when i left click it tabs me out. ive seen that xbox game bar is causing this issue but its really frustrating because its doing it on steam games too would like some feedback as the only fix i have rn is that i have installed dual monitor tools to bypass this problem.

Mouse Cursor not locking in Games

Hello Jabron,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the windows 10 Family.

We appreciate the time and effort you have put in to resolve the issue. I would like to assist you with further information from here.

Sometimes with a multiple monitor setup when you move your mouse from left to right inside the game the mouse can leave the game and move to a different monitor. If while your mouse is on the other screen you click (thinking you are still in the game) it
can alt + tab you out of the game and in some cases crash it.

As an initial recommendation, I would suggest you to define a Keyboard Shortcut to Lock or Unlock Mouse Movements to the Monitor with Mouse Cursor. Once Mouse is Locked to one Monitor, you will not be able to move the Mouse Cursor to any other Monitor unless
you Unlock Mouse by pressing the Keyboard Shortcut again

Hope the above information was helpful. If you need further information, feel free to write to us and we would be happy to help you.

Thank You.
