Hello. Currently, I am using a laptop (17 inches, horizontal, of course) and a second monitor (21 inches, vertical). My question is whether it is possible to block the mouse from transitioning from the vertical monitor to the laptop desktop if it involves a "jump" in the vertical axis of the mouse? I mean that the mouse can only move to the laptop screen (from 2nd monitor) in a place that corresponds to where the laptop display actually is physically present, without teleporting the mouse up or down (marked green on the picture) I wish to prevent the mouse from leaving the vertical screen if said "teleportation" would be necessary. (marked red on the picture)
I am running Legion 5, Windows 11

Try this
In Display Settings, look for "Ease of cursor movement between displays". Uncheck it. and apply. This option may sometimes cause unexpected jumps when transitioning between monitors. By default, Windows assumes a rectangular arrangement of monitors, even if some are vertical. Sometimes this causes the issue.
"The mouse should only travel between each monitor in the green area." Well, yeah.
That is the case. I does travel freely in both red and green area, at least in windows 11, not only in green area, that is the entire point of my post. Do I need to use 3rd party app to DISABLE mouse traveling through red area and appearing on 2nd screen with different Y axis value?
Thanks for the tip. I was experiencing the same issue as OP, and this exactly addressed the issue.
Yes! That worked. Green area only was the default behavior on Windows 10 back to XP. It's crazy to have it available through the red because if your mouse accidentally drifts across the red, when you bring it back it comes back in the green like it went through a portal.
Is that the sole purpose of the "Ease of cursor movement between displays" setting? It doesn't have an explanation of what it does on the settings screen.
Unchecking "Faciliter le déplacement du curseur entre les affichages" did the job to me aswell.
That kind of unwanted mouse teleportation annoyed me so much.
