Need a way to skip over a secondary monitor on a secondary computer

trying to skip over a secondary monitor only used for displaying camera feed

from Stardock Forums

Looking for a way to skip over a secondary monitor in the chain of computers that i dont need to access.  on my Cam-PC i dont need to use the 2nd screen and just takes longer for me to drag the mouse over that display to reach the other computers. I tried to drag the screen away but the 2 screens move together in the chain. is there a way to disable that screen from the chain?

No (at least not at this time) as it would require editing how Windows itself (on that Secondary) sees its own monitors.

What you may want to employ are hotkeys for quicker access to whatever location \ monitor you wish

thank you, i have added a hotkey (currently F11) to bring my mouse to my primary screen in the center, but it doent put it there lol. it puts it on the 2nd screen of my main computer(the Primary) and right where I tell it to, so tried switching it to the 2nd screen of my primary, but it still then puts the mouse on that screen lol. That is fine though, it gets me close. But another thing i have noticed now, it when i put my primary computer to sleep, all the rest go to the login screen lol. is there a why to stop that? I have turned off . Here are my settings.

Actually pick the PC and where you want the cursor placed:

However, your image reads you have 'locking Secondary...' (not the same a sleep) on in your image.  Uncheck that if you dont want it to lock the Secondary when the Primary is locked.

Thank you for your reply. I have tried to set the mouse on primary PC, which it will, but it doesnt put it where i tell it to. If i tell it to place it anywhere on screen 1 it puts it in the correct potition on my secondary monitor, but if i place it on screen 2 it puts it right along the left side of my primary monitor in the correct vertical position, but horizontally it always stays on the furthest left side, which is between the monitors.  This screen shot is how i have it set up to use F11 to try and position it in the middle of my primary screen. it wont make it to the center, only the furthest left side.

While I may have found an issue with re-recording where the cursor is mapped to after an edit, with each new creation

I have been able to reproduce some issues with hotkeys going back to the Primary (going to Secondary seems fine).

I have logged it - thanks for the report.
