  1. Mouse not locking to game


    I've had a dual monitor set up for years and never had a problem while playing fps or 3rd person shooter games until now. my mouse will not stay in one game it's like my pc doesn't recognize that the game is in Fullscreen anymore and I haven't changed anything but my monitor. I went from a 27inch 1440p x 2560 to a 32inch 1080p x 1920. So, I don't know if anything changed there but I am stuck and have no idea how to figure it out. Also, I use a Logitech pro wireless I have the hub soft wear all set up and works well. but when I go to the device manager it says the mouse driver is from 2006 and

  2. Mouse Cursor not locking in Games

    Hello Jabron,

    Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the windows 10 Family.

    We appreciate the time and effort you have put in to resolve the issue. I would like to assist you with further information from here.

    Sometimes with a multiple monitor setup when you move your mouse from left to right inside the game the mouse can leave the game and move to a different monitor. If while your mouse is on the other screen you click (thinking you are still in the game) it
    can alt + tab you out of the game and in some cases crash it.

    As an initial recommendation, I would suggest you to define a Keyboard Shortcut to Lock or Unlock Mouse Movements to the Monitor with Mouse Cursor. Once Mouse is Locked to one Monitor, you will not be able to move the Mouse Cursor to any other Monitor unless
    you Unlock Mouse by pressing the Keyboard Shortcut again

    Hope the above information was helpful. If you need further information, feel free to write to us and we would be happy to help you.

    Thank You.
