This post shows students and new users steps to turn on or off the ease of cursor movement between displays in Windows 11 when multiple displays are being used. There have always been issues in Windows where when multiple displays are not aligned at the crossing point, the cursor gets stuck when one tries to move to a secondary display.

Typically one must move the cursor rapidly to locate it and try again to move to the other display, ensuring that the crossing point is aligned.

The latest Windows 11 development build has added a new feature to help users move the mouse cursor across monitors when multiple displays are used. The feature was recently released in Windows 11 build 22557 build.

The new easing of cursor movement across displays is not available to all PCs. Only PCs enrolled in Windows 11 Insider Preview can get it when updated.
