Windows 7 When I move mouse to right desktop only displays

[harmanhoog]

When I move the mouse to the right, the desktop only displays and all open windows disappear from view. As a disabled worker I must use mouse on platform to right of my PC. This is an annoying inconvenience . I tried disabling the Aero feature in Easy Access but that did not do it.
Thanks for any ideas.

It sounds like you are experiencing an issue where moving the mouse to the right causes all open windows to disappear from view on your desktop, which is particularly inconvenient since you rely on using the mouse on the right side of your PC due to your disability. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to address this issue:

Troubleshooting Steps:​

1. Check Display Settings:
   • Right-click on the desktop and select "Display settings."
   • Ensure that the multiple displays setting is configured correctly. It's possible that your windows are being moved to a different display when you move the mouse to the right.
2. Check Taskbar Settings:
   • Right-click on the taskbar and select "Taskbar settings."
   • Look for options related to multiple displays and taskbar behavior. Make sure the taskbar is not set to hide automatically or configured in a way that causes windows to disappear.
3. Check Mouse Settings:
   • Go to the Control Panel or Settings and navigate to the Mouse settings.
   • Look for any options related to mouse behavior and window management. Ensure there are no unusual settings that could be causing this behavior.
4. Update Graphics Drivers:
   • Outdated or corrupt graphics drivers can sometimes cause display issues. Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date by visiting your PC manufacturer's website or the graphic card manufacturer's website to download the latest drivers.
5. Accessibility Settings:
   • Since you mentioned using Easy Access settings, double-check the accessibility settings on your PC. Look for any options related to mouse behavior that could be affecting window visibility.
6. Reset Windows Explorer:
   • Sometimes issues with Windows Explorer can cause display problems. You can try restarting Windows Explorer to see if that resolves the problem. If these steps do not resolve the issue, please provide more details about your operating system version and any recent changes or updates that might have triggered this behavior. This information can help in providing more specific troubleshooting steps.
