  1. Mouse has issues dragging with two monitors


    Ever since I got a second monitor, my mouse has had issues whenever I try to hold down click either to drag things or even if I am playing a game - it acts as if I am just clicking the once and then releasing. It does not matter whether I have just one monitor turned on or both, or whether or not I am dragging things across screens. Sometimes it works just fine, but other times it does not.

    :)

    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.

    Issue dragging from one monitor to another

    I am using the latest version of Windows 10 with the latest version of Chrome as my browser.

    This is an issue that only started today or at least I only noticed it today. I can drag google chrome tabs from one monitor to another but certain other things I can not. For instance: using the Rock Auto website on monitor 1, if I click an image to enlarge and try and drag that image over to monitor 2, the image disappears and I can only see the cursor on monitor 2. I can drag it back if I continue to hold the mouse down. If I drag the entire tab over to monitor 2, I can enlarge the image on that monitor but can not drag that image over to monitor 1. I can again only see the cursor.

    I am assuming it has something to do with the popup window of that website as others seem to work just fine. This issue was not occurring last week. Chrome was update some time this week as well.

    Windows 10 - Mouse cursor sticks to edge between multiple monitors

    I did get a suggestion that worked: Open the Display settings, use you mouse to drag either the leftmost or right most monitor icon (I have two monitors and a laptop, which is the center monitor) away from the center monitor icon, then release. That forces
    the icon to 'snap back' to the center monitor icon. The cursor stops sticking after you do that. If I disconnect the laptop to travel, etc., the problem sometimes reoccurs but is corrected by just repeating the steps. .
