    Mouse cursor sticks to corners on multi monitor setup


    I just updated my Windows 7 machine to Windows 10 yesterday and I have 2 monitors. I'm pretty sure this is an intentional but detrimental feature rather than a bug, but whenever I try to cross my cursor from one monitor to the other and I just happen to be at the top or bottom of the screen it gets stuck on the edge and won't let me move over unless I go around the corner. It's a very small thing that becomes very annoying especially when I want to fullscreen a window on the other monitor by dragging it along the top. Is there a way to disable my cursor getting blocked on the corners without disabling window snapping entirely?


    This is probably the wrong topic category but none of the options seem to deal specifically with displays.

    :)

    Win10 ignores my input, assumes it's smarter than me, and sticks the mouse cursor on the edge of corners with dual monitors

    The mouse cursor sticks on the corners of my dual-monitor setup, and there's apparently no option to disable this!

    Look, I know how to use a mouse. I can skillfully aim it. If I tell it to move 1000 pixels to the right, the OS shouldn't assume I'm an idiot and only move it 322 pixels, with no way to disable this behavior.

    Mouse cursor sticks on edge between monitors

    Okay, so I have a multi monitor setup for my pc, and when I try to move my mouse cursor between monitors 1 and 2 it sticks if I don't have enough momentum. It does not happen on any of the other "borders", only between 1 and 2. This is driving me utterly
    crazy.

    What can I do to stop this? Why is it only happening on one of the four borders I have.

    For info all monitors are ran at 100% scaling and resolution is 2560x1440, and monitor 3 is my main monitor.

    Mouse cursor sticks to edge between multiple monitors

    Using Windows 10 and the mouse cursor sticks to edge between multiple monitors. The threshold for the speed in which to stick needs to be adjustable. It is far too strong at the moment and i have to race my cursor across monitors- is laborious to deal with
    throughout a 10 hour day at work.... Please fix!

    Moved from Windows 10 / Performance & system failures.
