Problem with transition between multiple monitors
After the Windows 11 upgrade at work, I'm having a problem with my cursor falling to the top of the next display rather than stopping. This image may explain it better. Display 1 is my laptop and screens 2 and 3 are two large desktop monitors. When my cursor transitions from display 2 to display 1, if the cursor touches anywhere indicated by the red line, it immediately drops to the top right corner of display 1. The cursor should stop like it does when it hits the top or bottom borders. Now on the space where the two displays meet, the cursor jumps either up or down depending where you are. It only goes straight across in the middle of the shared space. See the green lines below. Any ideas?

This is the most likely solution:
- Press Win + I to open Settings
- Go to System → Display
- You'll see a diagram representing your three monitors
- Click and drag the displays to match your exact physical arrangement:
- Display 1 (Laptop) should be positioned exactly centered between Display 2 and Display 3
- Ensure there are no gaps between the monitors in the virtual layout
- The tops and bottoms should align perfectly in the diagram
