No, Windows isn't restricting your mouse movement. You should be able to drag it diagonally in the bottom-right corner.

I tried alt tab, then pressed Windows key plus direction keys. It just moved the window around the screen—nothing changed. Alt tab didn’t move the mouse at all. I guess I’ll have to unplug the monitor and see if that helps. Haha, yeah, Microsoft really is a pain!

Ensure Monitor 1 is adjacent to Monitors 2 and 3 in Windows. The movement might seem unusual, but it should function. Just move the mouse straight ahead, not diagonally.

My writings are written in my native language from right to left. You'll notice it's taken some time to get used to reading from left to right. Wishing you a blessed day!

Uh, I’m not sure if that was a “troll” or what… The main problem was the wide monitor (g9) was marked as “out of bounds.” My mouse was on monitors 3 and 2, but I couldn’t reach 1, which is where I’d normally move them. I tried to demonstrate how windows can be confusing—never had it happen before. I fixed it by disconnecting the 2/3 screens and making 1 the main display (this was from a laptop with the lid closed). That was my plan, but since my mouse was stuck, it turned into a funny situation.

Now I have a 27” Samsung curved on the left, plus two 19” widescreens—HP 1903 and an Acer 1917 (L1917p). It’s similar to what you described, though no drivers are available because it’s from the XP era. The setup looks the same in the picture, except the 27” is on the left of the G9, with those items at the top as they should be.

The issue started after a restart: everything seemed okay until then. I should note that my laptop only supports two displays, but I have a dock and a USB to VGA adapter, plus another monitor from a different brand.

Monitor 2 either shows nothing or, when it does, doesn’t display a number when I press “identify.” On the settings screen, it sometimes shows names like Nicehash or File Explorer, but it’s blank otherwise. It often appears on the blank screen after a reboot.

Resolution settings are all messed up now, and the order of the screens isn’t saved. One monitor has no image at all (sometimes it does), and I’m not sure how to fix this. When my PC is back online, I’ll be using all five monitors—currently just the 27” plus two more 27” curved across three video cards.

That’s never happened before with saved states for placement or resolution. The lid stays closed, the dock has a power button but it keeps running because it’s part of my server setup.

It wasn't a troll, even if it seemed that way. What I meant is shifting the 1 monitor in the settings toward the other two, not diagonally. That way you can keep your existing configuration intact.

Yeah but I can’t move the mouse diagonally to reach the 32:9 G9 anyway figured it out. F*ing dumb of me the laptop… was displaying a screen, meanwhile the face was down (under my desk, mounted) anywho I discovered the issue once I opened the screen and D/C’d the g9. Been a rough patch (pc died, needs a new cpu or Mobo - probably cpu) but I wanted all my monitors back up…. Errr 6 of em not including the “extra” 32:9 (16:9… doubled) as of now I have “five” screens up - no laptop screen. 3 externals, the G9 anybody with this issue should Deff uh, open the stupid laptop and see if it’s a monitor lol. Or duplicated! thanks y’all!
