I have been using Mouse without borders from Microsoft  garage for a year. it has worked on three 3 computers and 3 respective monitors. Now I added a 4th monitor to the host. So one computer has 2 monitors. One with HDMI and the other with DVI. Windows has by dedault given Identity 1 to the HDMI monitor which is not my main monitor. The main monitor is identity 2. I cant change it. I cant find a way to change the identity of my main monitor to 1 from 2. That being explained now to scrolls from main monitor to other two computers i have to go through the second monitor which is a pain. Any help? Thanks.

Hi Mr3putt1,

As what you've already mentioned, the Identity 1 is given to the HDMI connection by default. But this doesn't mean that the Identity 1 should always be the main monitor or display. You can still set or have the Identity 2 as the main display. Follow these steps:

  1. Right-click on your desktop and click Screen Resolution.
  2. Under Change the appearance of your display, select the Identity 2 monitor.
  3. Under Multiple displays, check the box for Make this my main display. Your Identity 2 monitor should now be the main display.

Update us with the result.

Regards.
