Is your mouse moving to your second monitor while gaming, causing the game to tab out? This can be frustrating, but there are a few ways to prevent it without turning off your second monitor.

Background notifications and Windows Focus Assist can sometimes interfere with fullscreen gaming. To disable it:
– Go to Settings > System > Focus Assist.
– Set Focus Assist to Off.
2. Disable Conflicting Startup Services
Some background services may be causing the issue. You can try disabling them:
– Press Windows + R, type msconfig, and press Enter.
– In the System Configuration window, go to the Services tab.
– Check Hide all Microsoft services, then click Disable all.
– Switch to the Startup tab and click Open Task Manager.
– Disable all startup items.
– Close Task Manager and click OK in System Configuration.
– Restart your PC and check if the issue persists.
3. Lock the Mouse to the Game Window with DisplayFusion
If the problem persists, a third-party tool like DisplayFusion can help:
– Download and install DisplayFusion.
– Open DisplayFusion and go to Settings.
– Navigate to the Functions tab and click Add Function.
– Select Lock Mouse Cursor to Current Monitor.
– Assign a hotkey (e.g., Ctrl + Alt + L) to enable/disable the mouse lock.
– Press the hotkey before starting the game to keep the cursor on your primary monitor.
– Press the hotkey again to unlock the cursor when needed.
By following these steps, you can prevent your mouse from moving to your second monitor while gaming, ensuring a seamless gaming experience.
