  1. My mouse cursor moves across screens while gaming.


    All of the sudden my mouse cursor will not stay put on one of my monitors. I use a dual monitor setup with my main monitor on the right, anytime I pan my camera to the left when playing games like Fortnite, Subnautica, or Counter Strike my cursor will move to the monitor on the left. Once I click the game is no longer focused and I have to click back to the game program. This problem started yesterday and seems to happen with every game I try and play. I would rather not download a third-party software to fix this as this problem was not happening anytime before. If anyone has a solution pleas

    :)

  2. Mouse cursor not moving.

    Yesterday I was playing a game when all of a sudden my cursor stopped moving. I tried everything. I took the USB out and put it back in, turned my mouse on and off, took out the battery and put it back in and still didn't work. I found another mouse and
    plugged in the USB but it was doing the same thing my other one was doing. The mouse's are on. The light censors work. The cursor on the screen just doesn't move.

  3. 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.

  4. My mouse cursor moves across screens while gaming.

    Mouse Cursor moving to centre of screen

    Every ten seconds my mouse cursor moves to the centre of the screen. I have 3 monitors normally, and also a 4th hdmi cable into my AVR which duplicates one screen. The problem only happens when the AVR is turned off. It never used to happen though.
