Mouse ghosts 2nd monitor in game

Hey,

Since upgrading to Windows 10 my mouse ghosts my 2nd monitor.

So if I scroll through my weapons it will also scroll say teamspeak. Or even more annoying, If I fire I have sometimes clicked the PR icon which then minimises the game.

I haven't tried this out with all my games but so far PR is the only one effected.
Did a bit of digging and apparently its up to the game to lock the mouse in the 1 monitor?

Can I do anything to prevent this or will this be fixed in a patch?

Thanks

(My post references PR on right monitor and second monitor is on the left.)

I have figured out the problem is that Windows 10 does not properly trap the mouse in the game.

So if you move your mouse far left (to the second monitor) it will appear over there and scroll other windows even with your PR up.

Only solution I have is moving the mouse as far right as possible.

that is very strange... even the windowed fullscreen/borderless should prevent that from happening

you could also try this:

if that doesn't fix it....


are you running any other programs in the background? overlays? steam? raptr?

lastly, do you have ALL the windows 10 updates? this is essential
