Windows 10: My mouse will leave my main monitor and go to secondary screen when in game even when in...

Hi there.As the title says, I'm having an issue with my mouse/monitor? where anytime I play a game, and this goes for any game, my mouse will easily go to the second monitor. Normally. this would only be encountered in windowed mode or maybe borderless windowed if you're in the pause menu but this happens even when in full screen mode. This is especially a problem for first person games, which I tend to play a lot of. Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! I'm on Windows 10.

Unable to interact with the content on the secondary monitor

I have three monitors plugged into a evga GTX 1060 ACX 2.0, the system is running latest Windows 10 pro.

Every night I put the computer to sleep. Occasionally, and more frequently the past week, I wake the computer in the morning to find very strange behavior:

• Whatever monitor is my main display works perfectly
• Secondary monitors turn on and show the last content they had (any open browsers, programs, etc)
• I can move my mouse into the secondary screens and see it moving around just fine
• When I click or do any kind of interaction on those screen, the visuals do not update (again, mouse around moving is fine)
  • Click a window, the window focus never shows; scroll or press a button on a website, doesn't show any changes; click the Windows button, menu doesn't open
• However, I can still interact with the screens despite not being able to see what I'm changing
  • Drag a window off the screen and it magically appears on the main display; press the 1-Click buy on an Amazon item, receive it 2-5 business days later
• Changing the main display changes the screen I can interact with
• Mucking with the resolution of the secondary monitors does not fix the issue but it does update their visuals
• Display driver details:
  • Date: 2018-11-12
  • Version: 25.21.14.1694
• I am in the process of downloading NVidia 2019 drivers to see if that helps

The only fix I've found so far (with my limited experience debugging display issues) is restarting the computer. Help!

mouse wont lock on dual monitor setup in some games


hello tenforums so ive recently setup a secondary monitor, but the mouse simply wont lock into the screen where the game is being played (total war) and if i do end up clicking somewhere on the secondary monitor the game will be minimized which is bothersome, anyone know a fix of sort to this? and ye i have tried borderless and fullscreen but in vain.




another issue ive had is that the secondary screen (1600x900) gets some flicker/lines whenever i use vga to connect it, but it works superb with dvi, any idea as to why?


now another thing is that when i move the mouse/cursor from the top right corner of the main monitor(1920x1080) it wont switch over to the secondary one(my idea being that the res/size is diffrent)
