Mouse crosses to the wrong monitor: rearrange the display map

Arrange the monitor rectangles in Windows to match their physical positions. The connection order does not have to match their left-to-right placement on the desk.

By RJ Computers

Quick answer

Arrange the monitor rectangles in Windows to match their physical positions. The connection order does not have to match their left-to-right placement on the desk.

Understand the issue

Use the identification numbers rather than guessing which rectangle represents which screen. Check movement across the shared edge after applying the arrangement. Small vertical offsets matter when displays have different heights.

Step-by-step checks

  1. Identify each display in Windows.
  2. Drag the display map into the physical arrangement.
  3. Test pointer movement at the shared edges.
