Windows 11, multi-monitor issue - Cursor jumps to closest corner of above monitor.
Here is every monitor setup in the world that will have this issue on Windows 11: The issue is when moving cursor to the top pixel line of a monitor, if there is no monitor above, the cursor...
- I was experiencing what I think was the same issue, and although I couldn't find anything online about it, other than this post, I eventually found a solution.
Go to Settings > System > Display > Multiple Displays > Ease cursor movement between displays.
Yep, I totally second that: The person who designed this "feature" should be replaced with an actual UX developer. This is ridiculous and that option should be called "Confuse cursor movement between monitors" instead of "Ease cursor movement..."
I'm a developer myself and I am all in favor of giving users options even if I cannot see a clear use case sometimes. If I have a feeling there could be one I prefer to add that option because the fact I can't think of a clear one does not necessarily mean that there is none. It may be just a lack of my imagination on that point. But gee, why is this totally confusing option set as a default goes beyond me. I can't in fact see even a vague point here where this could be useful in general. Maybe as a "Ctrl + mouse move" may be useful to find your cursor (for which there are better options) or to ensure my curser goes to the monitor on that side for sure, but as a general behaviour where going between monitors just on the edge throws my cursor back where not expected is truly terrible.
It is strange, but I see this kind of stupidity happening in Microsoft products ever since Bill Gates left the company. I'd have many, many examples like this unfortunately. Even things that Microsoft itself made a general UX rule they themselves started breaking for no reason while everyone until now still follows them.
