    How do I select main display if my screen doesn’t show a mouse?


    Hello,I have a MSI Raider GE68 running on windows 11. I recently connected it to my 27” HP monitor, but when changing the display settings it made my laptop #2 while my monitor became #1 display. When I try to change which one is the main display, for some reason it does not let me. I try to move the mouse over to the laptop screen, but it doesn’t appear. The mouse only appears on the monitor screen.I tried right clicking it to open on the monitor screen so I can select with the mouse, but it opens up on my laptop. Same issue, can’t select or see mouse on my laptop screen.So I have to press ta

    4870x2 won't display at 1680x1050 at all!

    OK. Now I know what ur problem is. Step by step:
    1. Go to Catalyst Control Center
    2. Click on the word "Graphic" right on top left corner. It will display drop down menu
    3. Click on Display monitor and will see the list of monitor at near bottom
    4. Right Click the monitor and select "Configure". It will show up the window
    5. There will be 3 option to select. Select the middle one and then click on the tab which show the bar with 15%.
    6. Drag the bar to max, and the screen will stretch to the native resolution 1680x1050.
    7. Also click the tab with showing RGB drop down list and select the last one (it will change to image quality for pc).
    That's it. Good Luck.

    Display shows a T

    Thanks for your reply. A reset has fixed the issue! It must have been some sort of display artefact.



    Except for this annoying "T", I could use Contacts functionality normally, eg scrolling down all contacts, clicking any letter to go to contacts starting with that letter.



    When I first went into the Contacts listing screen the display showed those contacts beginning with a number, as per normal functionality.



    When I selected a contact to see their details the T went away, only to come back again when I returned to the Contacts listing screen.



    But the reset has cleared it. Once again many thanks.

    How do I select main display if my screen doesn’t show a mouse?

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:
