If your Mouse pointer or cursor gets stuck at the screen edge while moving between multiple monitors in Windows 11/10, and you want to change this behavior then this post will help you.
In Windows, two monitors can be very easily connected to provide a synchronized presentation of the same operating system. However, the introduction of some features like the Scroll bar in Windows, has imposed a limit on the cursor while moving it from one monitor screen to another, in a multiple monitor system. Due to this limitation, the mouse pointer may stick at the shared edge, which is obviously the region covering the right edge of the first monitor and the left edge of the second monitor.
Mouse cursor sticks to edge between multiple monitors in Windows
Before you begin, create a system restore point.
1. Press Windows Key + R combination, type put regedit in Run dialog box and hit Enter to open the Registry Editor.
2. Navigate here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
3. In the right pane of this location, look for registry DWORD named MouseMonitorEscapeSpeed, it must be having its Value data set to 0. Double click to get this:
4. In the above-shown box, type Value data as 1 and click OK.
5. Now go to this registry location:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\EdgeUi
6. In the right pane of the above-mentioned location, look for the two registry DWORDS there named DisableTLCorner and DisableTRCorner, having Value data set to 0.
So change their Value data to 1 as similarly, as we have done in step 4. You may now close Registry Editor and reboot to make changes effective.
Other things to try:
- Increase Mouse Speed and see if this helps.
- Open Windows Settings > System > Display and ensure your monitors are properly aligned.
- Open NVIDIA Control Panel > Set up multiple displays and ensure the monitors are properly aligned.
I hope this helps!
