Windows 10: Ease Cursor Movement Between Displays Gets Stuck Vertically

I have ease "Cursor movement between displays" set on my Windows 11 machine. 22H2 22621.819Monitor transition works fine left to right, but not up and down. It gets stuck any time I move vertically in either direction. I have to fuss with it. I've checked and the monitors are perfectly aligned. They are not skewed.Can someone give me some suggestions on what to do? Maybe snapping is causing an issue or something?Here's an example. Red doesn't work well, Green works fine.

"Ease cursor movement between displays" in Settings

I have seen this setting: "Ease cursor movement between displays" referenced. I have two monitors, not the same size, and the cursor "sticks" at top and bottom corner of the main (larger) screen.

The setting ""Ease cursor movement between displays" in Settings" doesn't appear in my settings. The references I see show it under

System->Display->Multiple Displays. Don't see it there, or anywhere else.

Since this is a problem on my system, I think this would be useful. Suggestions anyone??

thx,

MH

Hi Mark. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, here to help you.

Let's try all the available fixes for cursor sticking in dual monitors.

You said it sticks at the top and bottom of the main screen. Are the monitors arranged vertically or horizontally. Is it getting stuck between the two?

Thanks, but I don't these get to the problem.

For one thing this is a Windows 11 system.

The problem is the cursor sticking at upper and lower corner of the main (large) monitor, where there isn't an appropriate match to the smaller screen. Movement through the rest of the screen border is not inhibited.

Here is an example of the setting that's supposed to handle this. For some reason, this doesn't appear on my system, so I can't turn this setting on.

When you have multiple displays and try to move your cursor or windows between monitors, they would normally get stuck if the display borders don't align at the crossing point.

Starting with Windows 11 build 22557, it is now easier to move your cursor and windows between monitors, by letting your cursor and windows jump over areas where they would previously get stuck.
