Windows 10: My cursor is going to my second monitor while gaming.

While im playing games my cursor crosses over when it usually locks. Ive resorted to closing my 2nd monitor while gaming but i dont like that.

:)

 

How to stop all the main screen icons moving to second monitor (Windows10) ?

Hi,

This can be a default when opening a game to maximize the functionality of having two monitors. To clarify the issue, we need additional information:

• When you close the game, do the icons go back to the main display or does it stays on the second monitor?
• Have you tried any troubleshooting steps?

We'll keep an eye out on your response.

 

Cursor "cross" is transparent

Hi RR and thanks for your reply and suggestion.

Here's an update from my end:

This only happens on my laptop screen when it is plugged into a second monitor.

• If Excel is on the second monitor, then the cursor cross is white.
• If the laptop isn't plugged into the second monitor then the cursor cross is white.

I think the same happens on all Office applications - certainly PowerPoint as well.

From this ^^above, I doubt it is an Excel setting. Not really sure where to start looking for a fix. The issue is that it impedes the use of the application as you keep losing where the damn cursor is.

 

my custom cursor is too white on second monitor

Hi Nguyễn,

I'm Amr, an independent advisor.

It seems like you're experiencing an issue with your cursor's appearance on your second monitor.

Here are some methods you can try to resolve the issue

1. Check Display Settings

Ensure that both monitors are set to the same colour profile.

You can do this by going to the Control Panel (large icons) > Color Management.

2. Update Graphics Drivers

Outdated or corrupted graphics drivers can cause display issues. Visit the manufacturer's website of your graphics card to download and install the latest drivers.

3. Monitor Calibration

Calibrate your second monitor. In Windows, You can do this by going to the Control Panel (large icons) > Color Management, in the Advanced tab hit the Calibrate display.

Follow the steps provided.

4. Cursor Settings

Check your mouse pointer settings.

Go to Control Panel (large icons > Mouse > Pointers and ensure that the scheme is the same for both monitors.

5. Check for Software Conflicts

If you're using any software that changes the appearance of your cursor, it might be causing the issue.

Try disabling such software temporarily to see if the problem persists.

6. Hardware Issue

If none of the above solutions works, it might be a hardware issue with your second monitor.

Try connecting to another monitor to see if the problem persists.

I hope this is helpful. If you require any additional assistance, don't hesitate to respond to this.

Best Regard

Amr
