Windows 10: Cursor switching between displays while gaming.

Just a couple of days ago, my cursor started not being locked to the fullscreen game I was playing, and instead would travel between both displays and then tab me out if I left click on my second monitor not running the game. When I restarted my computer a couple of days ago, it would go back to normal for about an hour, and now it just toggles through displays all the time. Any way I can fix this?
