    Try this:

    Right click a blank area on the desktop.  Left click Personalize, Display settings.  In the Monitor window that opens you should see your two monitors.  Find out which is which by clicking Identify Monitors.  Click and drag the right hand monitor left to the left of the original left monitor and release the drag.  That should change the positions of the two monitors so that the mouse motions should be the way you want them.

    Let us know if this helps.

    Thanks for the Answer! Totally Helped! I have Windows 10 Home and I removed the new "PC Settings" Menu and only use the old school control panel, via Classic Shell and yet it still worked! Thanks again!
