Arrange the monitor tiles in Windows 11 to match their physical left-to-right positions so the pointer can move directly between adjacent screens.
- Right-click an empty area of the desktop and select Display settings.
- Under System > Display, select Identify. A number appears on each physical screen.
- In Rearrange your displays, drag the numbered tiles into the same order as the monitors on your desk—for example, 1 | 2 | 3.
- Align the tiles so their edges touch. If one tile is above or below the others, the pointer can cross only where their edges overlap.
- Select Apply.
- Move the pointer across each shared edge to test the arrangement. Windows supports dragging these display tiles specifically to control how the pointer moves between screens.^1^
The display numbers do not need to be numerically ordered. If your physical arrangement is 2 | 1 | 3, arrange the tiles that way. The monitor tiles—not their assigned numbers—determine the pointer path.^2^
If necessary, press Windows key + P and select Extend so the desktop spans all three displays.^1^
