Windows 10: How can I get my main display to follow the mouse and show the second display?

I'm using a projector, and I want to be able to have my main display and the projector display be separate. I'm extending instead of duplicating on multiple displays, but I want my computer screen to show the projector screen when the mouse goes onto it so I can see what I'm doing on the projector display without having to get up and move, or crane my neck backwards to see the projector.

I remember being able to do this on previous versions of Windows, but is there a way to do it simply in the current update of Windows 10?

second display configuration issue


Hi All,

My configuration:

Windows 10 Pro x64
AMD Radeon HD 7800

Latest updates and video drivers installed, no hardware changes for 2+ months, latest significant Windows update 2 weeks ago, latest AMD video driver installed at least a week ago.


I have 2 identical displays connected via DVI to Windows PC over several years already with "Extend displays" configuration, and suddenly this configuration stopped working a couple of days ago when I was in the middle of doing something. Windows just replaced it with "Duplicate displays" configuration.


During PC startup I see BIOS diagnostics on both displays. Windows detects 2 displays. "Show only on 1" and "Show only on 2" options work as expected.


Problem: "Extend these displays" results in display 1 going blank and display 2 shows it's part of the image.


AMD Eyefinity (which creates virtual desktop over several monitors) works fine - which suggests that problem maybe only with Windows configuration.


What is done:

• checked cables
• removed and installed again latest AMD drivers
• removed second display from the System Devices, refreshed hardware list and added display again - now I have "Generic PnP monitor" and monitor with correct name in Monitors section
• searched for latest drivers for monitors and display adapters from Device Manager, nothing found

Next I replaced one monitor with monitor from different manufacturer, and everything works as expected - "Extend these displays" configuration shows extended image.


Any ideas what else can be done to fix the problem?


Thank you in advance.

 

Display langage reverted back


I followed the suggested actions: everything OK from step 1. and I attach as requested the output for step 2.



for convenience I attach the google translation



I'm ready to act following suggestions (if any) before...going through the restore (please don't misunderstand, I'm not looking forward doing it).

I appreciate in any case your help
