In Windows 7, users have the option to disable sticky corners when using more than one monitor, but it appears that Microsoft has disabled that feature in Windows 10. The problem is that there is a part of the screen where the mouse cursor will get stuck . , and mouse movement is not allowed in that part when using more than one monitor. This feature is called sticky corners, and when users could disable this feature in Windows 7, the mouse could move freely across the top of the screen between any number of monitors.

Windows 10 also has sticky corners where there are some pixels in the top corners of each monitor (screen) where the mouse cannot cross over to the other monitor. One must move the cursor away from this region to move to the next screen. So without giving up time, let's see how to disable sticky corners in Windows 10 with the tutorial given below.

Note: In Windows 8.1, 8 and 7, changing the value of the MouseCornerClipLength registry key from 6 to 0 could disable sticky corners, but unfortunately this trick doesn't seem to work in Windows 10
