    Limit Mouse Movement in Two Monitor System


    I have a two-monitor system. The monitors are setup such that the primary monitor is on the right.
    I rarely use the secondary monitor, so it is off most of the time. When the left (secondary) monitor is off, Windows lets the mouse fly off the screen (to the right.)
    I would like to limit the mouse to the primary screen as the default.
    I would like to on occasion, allow the mouse to move to freely between screens. If this could be done automatically, by detecting if the monitor were on, that would be great. Otherwise, I could activate a secondary configuration to allow normal use of the mouse between screens.
    I dont have any special video card driver to allow creating a secondary configuration.
    I tried Settings > Display, but there is no way to save a secondary configuration. Lining up the monitors on a diagonal might work. But I like to spread out between monitors when both are on. And a diagonal setup would be weird.
    Thanks!

    :)

  2. System do not wake up by mouse movements

    Window-10 1903

    Under power options my settings are

    Screen:

    When plugged in ,turn off after 10 minutes.

    Sleep:

    when plugged in, PC goes to sleep after 30 minutes.

    The system used to wake up with a simple mouse movement. But, now it does not ????

    Device manager:

    Under mouse and Key board > power management - Allow this device to wake up the computer is ticked.

    Still PC do not wake up.

    When I switch off the monitor and then switch it back to the on status, the mouse movements do work to wake up the PC.

    This is an assembled PC, not branded

    please advise.

    Microsoft Ergonomic Sculpt Mouse - Quick Movements Cause Incorrect Movements

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community.

    Please confirm the following things for me.

    1. What is the make and model of your system?
    2. Was there any major change on your system prior to which you were able to use the mouse without any issues?
    3. Does the issue with the mouse occur when it is used on a different system?

    I would suggest you to update the driver for your mouse under ‘Mice and other pointing devices’. You can follow the steps in this article on ‘Update
    drivers in Windows 10
    ’ and uninstall the mouse driver.

    Please visit this link to download and install the driver for your ‘Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse’.
    Kindly restart the system and check if this worked out for you.

    Hope it helps.

    Limit Mouse Movement in Two Monitor System

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds
