Screenshot 2024-05-21 085056.pngMy setup is this.  All I did was clean-install Windows 11 (from Windows 10) on the Director (having used the XML backup option).  The Client is Windows 10.
  • I can move from Director to Client from the TOP of the Director screen.  It then appears at the BOTTOM of the Client screen.  
  • I can move from the BOTTOM of the Client screen to the TOP of the Director screen.  
  • I can move from the TOP of the Client screen to the BOTTOM of the Director screen.  This one's a tad strange because moving from the middle of the top of the Client pops over to...the bottom-right corner of the Director.

But I can't move from the BOTTOM of the Director screen to the TOP of the Client screen!

Which bone-chillingly obvious setting have I missed on restore?

Hi,

What does the Windows monitor layout look like on each system?  (e.g. this config in Windows)

Regs,

Shane.

Director.  #4 is a TV that's off (it was like this before the upgrade).  #3 is the only one configured in ID here because the side/wing monitors are shared with the client (laptop) via different inputs.  Think Director on HDMI, Client on DVI.

Client.  In this mode the Client is displaying to the side monitors.

Necro-ing because I believe I found the problem.

I think when a user has DisplayFusion enabled (which I do) and tell it to restrict one of the screens (the unused 4th screen above), it creates some kind of virtual monitor that hides the topography from applications like Input Director.  I cannot remember which other application had an error that caused me to investigate DisplayFusion but it had similar "Wait, why is it not behaving the way the physical screens would suggest it should?" issues to Input Director.

DisplayFusion users should not disable screens in Monitor Configuration.  This can cause problems for Input Director.
