  1. Two monitors: Is there a handy way to get your mouse pointer on the other screen?


    I am working with two monitors, editing audio & video. Even though I know the monitors are "virtually" placed next to each other (so if I move from left to right or vice versa I end up on the other monitor screen), I still always struggle getting my mouse pointer from one monitor window to the other. I find that I am losing momentum in my workflow getting the pointer on the right spot on the other monitor, it needs to go quicker. I have been looking for other ways, perhaps a keyboard shortcut, but I haven't found any. Is there a handy & quicker way to get your pointer on the other screen?

  2. Mouse Pointer

    Hi,

    You can customize your mouse in a variety of ways in Windows. To change how your mouse pointer looks, you can follow the steps below:

    • Right-click on the Start menu, then click Control Panel.
    • Select Mouse, then go to the Pointers tab.
    • Select the pointer you prefer from the drop-down list, click
      Apply > OK.

    If you want to use a pointer that is not on the list, you can download it online. After that, go to Control Panel > Mouse > Pointers tab again, then click
    Browse.

    Update us if it addressed your issue.

  3. Two mouse pointers on screen

    I'm using windows 10 home version 1709 on an all in one HP. I'm using a Logitech integrated keyboard mouse, but have two mouse pointers on the screen--one in the top left and one that I'm actively trying to use. The one in the upper left tries to take
    control and move the one I'm actively using. I've tried several fixes, including updating the drivers, ensuring that I've activated the only one monitor. The only temporary fix is to go to alt-control-delete and the cancel. I'd like to get rid of the phantom
    pointer and get full control of the mouse pointer.

    The Mouse Pointer (THE OLD ONE?)

    Hi Amir,

    Are you using an external mouse or the touch pad mouse? You can change the way how your mouse pointer looks by following these steps:

    1. Press Windows key on your keyboard, type Change your mouse settings and select the search result.
    2. On the window that would appear, click Additional mouse options.
    3. On the Pointers tab, under Scheme, click
      Windows Default (system scheme)
      on the drop-down menu.

    Let me know if there are improvements.
