Windows 10: Mouse movement multiple monitors

I have multiple monitors third one disabled for now. I am having this setup up. Sometimes after restarts the following happens:- The mouse cursor is blocked from leaving 2 on the left side.

Impaired mouse movement in triple monitor setup [Windows10]

Hi Hechy,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I'm Hahn and I'm here to help you with your concern.

From your description and the provided image, it seems like you are experiencing an issue with mouse movement between Monitor 1 and Monitor 3 in your triple monitor setup on Windows 10. While there isn't a fundamental limitation in Windows 10 that prevents mouse movement between certain monitors, there are a few common issues that might be causing this problem:

Resolution and Scaling Differences: If there are significant differences in the resolutions or scaling settings of the monitors, it might cause issues with mouse movement between them. Ensure that all monitors have similar resolutions and scaling settings.

Monitor Drivers: Outdated or incompatible monitor drivers might also cause issues with mouse movement and other display-related functions. Check if there are any driver updates available for your monitors and install them.

Third-Party Software: If you're using any third-party software for managing your multi-monitor setup, such as display management tools or custom mouse movement utilities, these could potentially be causing the issue. Try disabling or uninstalling such software to see if it resolves the problem.

A "clean boot" starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs, so that you can determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program. How to perform a clean boot in Windows - Microsoft Support

I hope this helps. If there is anything not clear, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues related to mouse cursor movement on multiple displays



In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below:

1. What is the make and model number of your PC?
   
2. What kind of cable do you use to connect the monitors?
   
3. Are you aware of any recent changes on the PC prior to this issue?
   

Meanwhile, I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:

Update or reinstall the mouse drivers from Mice and other pointing devices section in device manager

Update drivers in Windows (microsoft.com)

Once done, try to re-arrange the monitors and check if the issue persists

New User Account

If the issue persists, I would also suggest you to create a new user account with administrative rights and check if the issue persists. Creating a new user account will not remove any data, app or settings from your current user account, this is just a troubleshooting step to eliminate the possibility of user profile corruption. Refer this article to create a local user or administrator account in Windows 11
