  1. Cursor wont lock to one screen when playing full-screen games


    Recently probably a month ago when i play most full-screen games my cursor just wont lock to that screen and will instead go to my other monitor if i move my mouse in that direction as if i was playing the game windowed. I have tried everything ive seen in the fourms and this is seriously starting to bug me, the only games ive found that this doesnt happen in is BO6 and Overwatch 2. The only way to go around this is to disable my other monitor which entirely takes away the point of having a 2nd monitor.

    :)

    Cursor crosses over to second screen


    Hi, this started happening to me after a windows reinstall. When i play games that lock the cursor to screen 1 and i move the cursor to the right edge the arrow becomes seen on screen 2 even though its point cannot leave screen 1. Example: if i move the cursor up and down across the right edge of screen 1, the arrow can be seen moving on the left edge of screen 2 but cannot go further because its locked to screen1.

    Its weird because it only happens in games (fullscreen or fullscreen windowed), not on the desktop. When on the desktop the cursor functions properly - the arrow only crosses over if its point crosses over.

    Anyone know what causes this? Help greatly appreciated.

    Lock Screen Not Locking


    Hey Guys I've had some issues with the Windows 10 lock screen on my Surface Book. When I close the lid it's to set to sleep. When I open the lid half of the time it will use the camera to verify, and half of the time it will have just say swipe lock screen and provides no security. Also, when the screen times out it wont lock when a key is pressed to turn it back on, rather it just goes straight back into the desktop. I've looked through all the setting regarding the lock screen and sleep settings and haven't had any luck. Any suggestions?

    -Cheers

    Cursor wont lock to one screen when playing full-screen games

    Mouse cursor invisible when playing any full screen game (Windows 10)

    For the past day and a half whenever I am playing a fullscreen game I can not see my cursor, however, it does still work as in I am still able to press buttons or play the game normally outside of menus. I have tried to generic results given to everyone
    which were designed for Windows8:

    Method 1:

    I would suggest you to disable it and check for the results. Follow the steps to do so:

    • Press Windows and X keys together and select Control Panel.
    • Click on Mouse.
    • Navigate to pointer options tab.
    • Under Visibility, uncheck the box which says “display pointer trails”.
    • Click on OK to close the window.
    Check if you find the same issue. If yes, move to the next method.

    Method 2:

    Follow the steps below to change the display text size to 100 % and check if it resolves the issue:

    • Right Click on the desktop screen and select Personalize.
    • Click on Display.
    • Check the box that says “let me choose one scaling level for all my display”. Choose Smaller (100%)-default.
    • Click on Apply. Restart the game and check if the point becomes invisible again.

    I have tried restarting my laptop (dell latitude e7470)

    I am running Windows 10 as of 9/23/17

    Windows Defender is on

    Any help is appreciated

    Thanks!
