![]() ![]() (But I could only see one because I only have one screen). It took the same amount of moves to the left to get the cursor back into view - that proves that Windows did in fact think I had two screens and did in fact create another desktop. ![]() I proved this by moving my cursor outside the right of my screen. The reason why the cursor was always at the top-left of my screen, was because Windows is set to display everything on the primary display, so, it displayed my normal cursor and then it displayed another cursor (which was meant for the extended display (second monitor)) on the primary display. ![]() One of the settings (which I did NOT set) was to "Extend the second display" which means that the screen will be extended onto the second monitor (but in this case, there's only one screen). And so Windows thought that I had two monitors connected. So Windows screwed up somewhere and installed two different 'monitor' drivers. But I don't - and there has only ever been 1 display connected to this computer. I discovered that Windows thinks I have two displays. How do I get rid of the unwanted one? Or, why is there a second, active cursor? It's just sitting there in the top-left of my screen. I tried searching for a solution, but all I could find were tonnes of people asking others how to get two mouse cursors, which is the opposite of what I want. Well, I knew that already anyway, but that just proves it. So I know it's not a part of the wallpaper. When the computer is loading something, both cursors change to display a Wait cursor. When I click in a text field, both cursors change to indicate I am now in a text field. But when I hover over a hyperlink - both mouse cursors change to show a hand cursor. Its location never changes on the screen. So basically, I have two mouse cursors on my screen. But then I noticed there was already a mouse cursor just to the left of the Recycle Bin! How did that get there?! I woke up, signed in, and went to empty the Recycle Bin. I noticed there were like a billion pending Windows Updates ('cause 8.1 was released so long ago) and so I installed them all while I was sleeping. I bought a new PC yesterday, and it has a fresh install of Windows 8.1 Pro. ![]()
