    My cursor is stuck on one monitor.


    For context, I got my pc about a month ago, and it’s been great. One issue that I have is that sometimes when I open a game, the cursor gets trapped on the monitor with the game running. I’ve tried every mode from windowed to windowed full screen to full screen. This is happening mostly with f1 2020, but it happens to a lot of other games as well. I tried to change my main monitor to the one I was trying to access, but then my cursor got stuck on the monitor that my game WASN’T running on. Only fix I can find is closing the game, but that doesn’t work 100% of the time either. Any help is appre

    :)

  2. Windows 10 External Monitor only :: How to set Portrait orientation?

    Thanks Elise,

    I found more links which suggest

    1. turn one of the monitor
    2. feedback to Microsoft
    Using Steps Recorder on Two monitors. (microsoft.com)

    I need assistance on both suggestions; how to

    1. turn off laptop monitor?
    2. locate feedback hub on Cortana?
    My workaround is to use PowerPoint Screen Recorder but this need additional screen capture.

    The reason for Screen Recorder is Windows 10 Mouse Cursor for Office Menu item disappear when select Screen Capture App. It is cumbersome to show Tech Support what is selected on Office App on captured screen...

    Thanks Ahead!

  3. Cursor does not reach the second monitor

    I have a Dell notebook and a monitor connected to it. After I installed Windows 11 the cursor of the mouse doesn't move from one screen to the other. Sometimes it is stuck on the laptop and sometimes it does not go out of the monitor. The mouse settings page informs there is a corrupt or inexistent file: c: \users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Cursors\pin_eoa.cur

    the instructions suggested to fix corrupt files SFC /Scannow andDISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth didn't work.

    How can I get a clean cursor file?

    Thank you both for your prompt replies, I tried all steps listed, some I had tries previously but I still tried them again, but still no cursor.

    Do you have any other suggestions?
