Windows 10: Multiple displays, stop mouse from moving between?

Hey all, I just set up a second display for Windows 10 and I'm wondering if there's any way I can stop the mouse from moving between the two displays? Basically my ideal scenario would either be a toggle that enables and disables moving to my second display or maybe just make it so I have to press a button like Control or Alt or something for it to be able to move back and forth.

Thanks for your time.
