When I move my cursor to my second monitor from a game open on my main monitor the game alt tabs. This is incredibly inconvenient as the whole point of me wanting free movement between two monitors is because alt tabbing is time consuming and inconvenient. Is there a way I can move my cursor to my second monitor while my game remains open on my primary monitor without alt tabbing?
 
Not really. When you have the game running on the primary(center) monitor the mouse is confined to that area. If you'd like the cursor to move from one monitor to another, that's when you're going to have to alt-tab out of the game.

Oh moving my mouse between the monitors isn't an issue. You've slightly misunderstood my message, maybe it's how I wrote it but for example take cs:go. When I'm playing it my cursor doesn't move because my mouse is being used to look around. I can press escape which takes me to a menu and, if you like 'activates' my cursor, meaning I can move it to my other monitor, without alt tabbing (in other word my cursor ISN'T confined to the game area). Unfortunately when I do so my game then tabs out, even though I haven't pressed alt tab. So moving to my other monitor without alt tabbing isn't the issue, but instead that my game automatically alt tabs when I do so. Hopefully this has cleared up my meaning. Further feedback would be appreciated :)
