It appears that we have the same issue. Do you see any correlation between our system specs? If you have an Nvidia graphics card, what driver version are you using?

USB Mouse and USB Wireless / Touchpad Incompatible Fix

Both my USB cable mouse and wireless USB mouse have the stopping at the border problem. Additionally, the wireless USB mouse can not adjust the size of pictures in Windows 2013.

The fix is to disable the touchpad when an external USB mouse is connected as shown below. Unfortunately, this does not help the desktop users.

I am using a desktop computer, so I don't have a touch pad or any Synaptics HID, and this issue is independent of the mouse I have attached at the time.

I'm sure most people prefer other HIDs, but isn't this a little bit off-topic?

Thank you for your responses!

This works.

This same thing started happening to me today too. I did open a metro app before this started happening as well, though I've used them before without it happening so it may be a new bug. In any case a workaround that just worked for me was to set the monitors to duplicate and then back to extend. No sticking on the edge of the screen anymore after that.

I'm not sure for how long but i can confirm doing this does resolve my sticking issue.

I just bought a new mouse and there's absolutely no sticking or any hesitation from one monitor to another, not a hint of a problem, old one had just a bit of hesitation.

Maybe try aligning the screens in the resolution window like the setup in real life. You can drag the screens aroundAlign.png

You can drag them around just from box to box, not within them. If you switch boxes mouse will have to wrap around wrong way. In any case, settings in driver control panel will take precedence to windows one. My are completely opposite one from the other, even to the point of which connector on the GPU is primary and which is secondary.

Dear all,

When moving my cursor between my two monitors, it stops at the border. To get to the other screen I either have to keep moving my mouse towards the border or move the cursor at high speed between the two. The issue occurs no matter where I cross, and does not appear to be related to the metro charms or multitasking.

My desktop just recently installed the Windows 8.1 Update (Pro 64-bit), and since then I have had this problem off and on. I do not know what causes it to happen. I have two monitors, side by side. A 1050x1680 monitor on the left, with a 1920x1080 monitor on the right. The top edges of these monitors are aligned.

This phenomenon is incredibly annoying, so any methods of stopping this would be much appreciated. I'd also be interested to know how and why this happens.

Thanks,

Daniel

Goto "PC Settings", click "PC and Devices", then click "Corners and Edges". Turn "When I swipe in from the left edge, switch between my recent apps instead of showing a list of them" OFF!
I found this worked for me, and never got the problem again
