    Multi-monitors, sticky corners


    Hello:

    I have three monitors, the middle one portrait. I encounter what is described as "sticky corners". I have tried to enter

    Non-Stick Mouse - http://www.jawfin.net

    but I get warned by Norton that it is a known dangerous site.

    So, is it an okay site, or is there any otehr place to download the jayfin app?

    Or is there any other way to fix this problem?



    PS. I remember a mouse app of yore that made it possible to move the mouse from anywhere on one monitor to another monitor. I do not know if works with Win 10. I think it was called KatMouse.

    :)

    How to disable sticky corners in Windows 10

    It seems Microsoft has tried to solve this problem Multi-monitors and the corners of the screen.

    In Windows 7, there is no boundary between monitors and the mouse can move freely across the top of the screen between my 3 monitors, provided I had set their heights equal in display settings. Windows 8 introduced sticky corners. See this question.

    Windows 10 got sticky corners as well. There are a few pixels at the top corners of each display where the mouse cannot cross over onto the other display. One must move the cursor down to avoid this region in order to get to the next display.

    The image shows roughly the region where mouse movement is not permitted in Windows 10, but is allowed in Windows 7.

    Personally, I had no problem with unrestricted mouse movement across the top of my screens - I got used to "aiming" for the x, and the convenience of unrestricted cursor movement. Like all the people who wanted to disable it in W8, I'm wondering if there is a way to disable it in W10.

    Edit to address possible duplicate:

    Although the problem is identical to the one in this question, solutions to solve the problem in W8 involving editing the registry key MouseCornerClipLength do not work in W10, since that registry key is not present in W10. Also adding that key and setting the value doesn't work. I searched the entire registry and couldn't find it in another location. No other W10 keys in the node referenced in the W8 solution are obvious replacements.

    Edit to address possible solutions in comments

    harrymc's suggestion 1 and suggestion 2 that worked for for Windows 8.1 do not work in Windows 10.

    Multi-monitor mouse corner boundary

    On a multi-monitor setup, there is a small area in the corners that the mouse is not allowed to move past. The below figure shows the areas for a two monitor setup where the mouse is not allowed to pass.

    This feature makes you 'lose track' of where your mouse is when moving between monitors: as for your feeling it should be on a target monitor while it remains stuck on the origin monitor. This is a nuisance for many users, evidenced by the large number of
    topics/posts on various websites (1,

    2
    ,
    3
    ,
    etc
    ).

    Is there a way to disable this feature and/or a work-around?
