    Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

    Besides lining up the monitor boxes to match your desk, a few details can still mess up cursor movement:

    • If one screen sits above the other (like a laptop below a desktop monitor), drag the boxes top-and-bottom in Display settings instead of side-by-side.
    • If your screens are different sizes, go to "Settings (Windows + I) > System > Display > Multiple displays" and check "Ease cursor movement between displays". This stops the mouse from catching on the uneven corners.

    Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

    Open Settings > System > Display.

    In Display settings, the monitors are shown as numbered boxes. Drag the monitor boxes so they match the physical left/right order of the screens, then select Apply.

    If needed, use Identify first so the monitor numbers appear on each screen, then rearrange them. Once the layout matches the real monitor positions, the mouse will move in the correct direction between displays.
