Key notes
Often, when using a dual monitor setup, the question of how to seamlessly get the cursor to move from one display to another arises. It can be frustrating when your mouse cursor moves from one display to another without your control.
Wouldn’t it be great if Windows, by default, let you easily switch from one display to the other? Luckily, Windows 11 has a feature that does exactly that and doesn’t require a lot of technical know-how to execute it.
What does Ease cursor movement between monitors do?
This feature helps prevent cursor drift when you move your mouse from one monitor to another. The option is disabled by default.
If you turn it on, the mouse pointer will smoothly transition from one monitor to another instead of jumping instantly or getting stuck around the display borders.
How do I enable or disable Ease cursor movement between displays?
1. By using the Settings app
2. By using the Registry Editor
