How to fix the mouse setting so I can easily move the cursor from one monitor to another in a free flow instead of having to follow the sequence designated by the number of the monitor on the display?
The movement of the cursor is being controlled by the monitor setting. It means I have to scroll from monitor 1 to monitor 2 to monitor 3. I want it to free flow between monitors so I can click on each one as needed.
