[SOLVED] Ghost mouse scrolling on second monitor

[Meowjin]

So when playing a game in normal fullscreen the mouse stays locked like it should, but a second invisible ghost cursor appears on my second monitor. The ghost cursor can't interact with anything at all, but it highlights and scrolls around whatever window it's over. It's not a huge deal, it gets really annoying though if I'm watching a Discord conversation or something while playing a slow game, or it scrolls to the bottom of a stream's page. I've tried everything I can find to fix it, and literally shut down everything but the game and ghost cursor is still there. It's not in a single game too, I think it's everything that doesn't have a working borderless fullscreen.

Try a clean boot and see if it changes anything - make sure to read instructions and make sure NOT to disable any microsoft services or windows won't load right - https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/929135/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows

if clean boot fixes it, it shows its likely a startup program. You should, over a number of startups. restart the programs you stopped to isolate the one that is to blame.

Fullscreenlock from blaberry on Github. It stops the ghost cursor through actually locking the cursor to whatever monitor the fullscreen application is on. It's a true godsend to stop the scrolling on other monitors while playing games that don't already do that.
