    How do I stop the cursor from getting caught when dragging a window between screens?


    So, if you drag a window from one monitor to the other, the cursor will stop at the edge of the screen area, and you have to hit the edge obnoxiously hard to get it to go through. Does anybody know of any kind of registry tweak I can use to disable this? Google Fu has failed me.

    software that allow cursor to drag across screen in straight line.

    as title suggests, I need a software that can assist me dragging mouse across a straight line across the screen at any given height value Y, perfectly horizontal line. (also if it has vertical will be great too).

    something along the lines of forcing mouse cursor to stay at minimum height on screen will work too until I alt+f4 the software.

    please help.

    How can I drag a screen display onto an adjoining satellite monitor?

    Hi Stewart,

    In order for us to assist you dragging a screen to your satellite monitor, you can follow these steps:

    • Move the cursor off each of the four screen edges to see if one of them works.
    • If it does, position the monitors in the Display > Screen Resolution window
      to match the physical placement of the monitors.
    In the event that the previous steps failed to work, you can try these:

    • In the display settings just swap the
      Display1 and Display2 Monitors.
    • Drag the Monitor1 display icon and
      drop it on Monitor2 display icon, this would give you the correct alignment of screens.

    Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have further inquiries.

    Black screen after Windows update.

    Hi Crystel,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    • Were you able to get to the desktop screen after you restarted the system?
    • When the screen was blank, were you able to see the cursor on the screen?
    • Did you get any error code or error message?

    Please get back to us with answers to above questions, for us to suggest the appropriate troubleshooting steps.

    Meanwhile, I suggest to try the steps mentioned in the article below and let us know if it helps.
