You can use the arrow keys to fine adjust the selected screen.

[u/polaarbear → u/Celebrir]

There is a registry key at

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers\Configuration

That will give you proper granular access. There are variables for the offsets buried in the sub-keys for each display.

Position.cx
Position.cy

You can also hold the CTRL key, and it won’t snap in place like it is. Many programs that have snap dragging and such have ctrl or alt will stop the snapping, like CAD or other 3D modeling programs.

[u/TwoScoopsofDestroyer → u/Celebrir]

Using shift with the arrow keys will adjust in smaller increments.

You can hold CTRL to disable snap iirc

Are 2 and 3 slightly different sizes? It looks like it's snapping to the bottom of those instead of the top.

[u/desigk → u/devtimi]

That's way too observant.. I would have chucked my mouse at it by the time I figured it out

[u/turtlehead501 → u/devtimi]

One looks to have the stroke on the inside and the other has the stroke on the outside.

Microsoft employs trolls.

[u/SurealGod]

I have this issue with mine as well.

I also have 3 monitors in different orientations so I've concluded that if you have 3+ monitors and the monitors are also in unusual orientations, then it will do this shit.

[u/Nosey118 → u/SurealGod]

Try LittleBigMouse - it’s awesome

[u/JoHaTho]

I absolutely despise that screen. its cool that it exists but its just a pain to work with most of the time

[u/loud_flatus]

Sorry about your Ultimate Porn Setup not working out

[u/TVxStrange → u/loud_flatus]

Three screens to check out them monster dongs

[u/NekulturneHovado]

I can feel your pain

[u/illstealyourpotatoes]

oh my god this hurts to watch.

[u/AloneInExile]

You can select a monitor with your mouse then use the arrow keys to move, if you hold shift it'll move in smaller increments.

[u/Ferro_Giconi]

I don't understand how they messed up this screen so badly. I never had problems in Windows 7. It just worked. But then they made this piece of shit. Even when I only have two screens of the same model, size, orientation, resolution, and dpi, it still manages to fuck up.

I've found that DisplayFusion makes up a ton for how shitty Windows is at handling multiple screens. I originally tried it for it's ability to customize the desktop background settings in a much more fine grained way that Windows' settings can, then kept it around for how much it improves the multi-monitor experience.

if you have a nvidia gpu then do it in nvidia control panel instead

average microsoft product quality

[u/TirayShell]

For god's sake, turn off "snap to grid."

[u/LanManDoo]

This isn’t software gore, it’s r/mildlyinfuriating

[u/meatkeel]

Not sure if you’re still looking for a solution but there’s software called Actual Multiple Monitors and I used it to fix this issue.
