Windows 10: Mouse Lock on Games Not Working

Whenever I play a game now my mouse suddenly won't lock to the game like it has done forever. The night before this problem I did update my computer and I wonder if this was a factor. For more detail whenever I played a game like Minecraft the mouse would be stuck in the middle of the screen like normal but now whenever I swipe left, towards my second monitor, it just goes to the other monitor, in other words the mouse can just move freely now. Beforehand I would have to tab out of my game to freely move my mouse.

Mouse Cursor not locking in Games

Hello Jabron,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the windows 10 Family.

We appreciate the time and effort you have put in to resolve the issue. I would like to assist you with further information from here.

Sometimes with a multiple monitor setup when you move your mouse from left to right inside the game the mouse can leave the game and move to a different monitor. If while your mouse is on the other screen you click (thinking you are still in the game) it
can alt + tab you out of the game and in some cases crash it.

As an initial recommendation, I would suggest you to define a Keyboard Shortcut to Lock or Unlock Mouse Movements to the Monitor with Mouse Cursor. Once Mouse is Locked to one Monitor, you will not be able to move the Mouse Cursor to any other Monitor unless
you Unlock Mouse by pressing the Keyboard Shortcut again

Hope the above information was helpful. If you need further information, feel free to write to us and we would be happy to help you.

Thank You.
