Windows 10: Second monitor appears smaller in display settings - Mouse gets stuck at certain points...

I just set up my second monitor and in the display settings one screen appears smaller than the other. They are both 27 inches but different resolutions. When I move my mouse at the very top or very bottom from one monitor to the next the cursor gets stuck (unless I am in the middle of the screen). Has anyone encountered this?

Can you set certain applications to not display on second monitor?

NOT looking to open certain applications on a certain monitor. Sorry if this is in the wrong topic.

I just set up my dual monitors, and I'd like to know if it's possible to have an application not display on the second monitor. When I drag a window halfway off the screen on the first monitor it then appears on the second monitor. Obviously, one way around
this is to just drag the window to the other side of the monitor, but I'm hoping there is a way around to not having certain applications appear on the second monitor.

Is there such a thing? Thanks in advance.

 

One Monitor running on a 2 monitor display, cant disable the second monitor. Help?

Hi,

If you can't access the Display settings, it means that it appears on the second monitor which you don't have. This happens if Windows is not back to the primary desktop.

We found an article similar with your concern. We suggest following the troubleshooting steps provided by SpiritX MS MVP on this

thread. It will guide you on how to disable the second display.

Second monitor appears pixelated sometimes

Before we get started, here might be some setup information that may be worth noting. My primary monitor is a 1080p, 1920 x 1080 (native) using an HDMI to DVI. My secondary monitor is a SONY TV 1360 x 768 (native) using an HDMI. Both are connected to my graphics card and not the motherboard. I have always had this setup but I have not always had this issue.

Preforming the following actions may cause my second monitor to appear pixelated.

• Getting a web browser out of maximized mode by click dragging the window or using the restore button
• Using full screen on the secondary monitor
• Dragging a window into the second monitor, sometimes

In order to temporarily solve this issue I must apply a change to any display using the Nvidia Control Panel. Using the Windows display settings to apply a change does not always fix the issue. Also note that after the second monitor goes pixelated, my computer does not detect a change in any display's resolution settings.

So far I have tried the following fixes to no avail

• Keeping display drivers up to date
• Using a DDU to wipe display drivers clean and start anew
• Using the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter

I have tried to use capture software to screenshot the pixelation but it can not see it. I have to use a camera to show what it looks like instead.

Capture software is not capable of detecting the pixelation so I have recreated what it looks like on screen. Use this as reverence if the pictures look bad.
