What happens if you try to drag? Does the mouse pointer stop moving right at the border of that screen? Could it be that your monitor 2 is indeed not left of 1 but right of 3?

Or to expand to the above, on top or below?

Sorry for the delay in responding - I have been traveling, without access to the external monitors.<br />
<br />
Here are the monitor numbers as given by the Identify command:<br />

I can drag items up from Monitor 1 to Monitor 3.<br />
<br />
But moving the mouse on Monitor 3 is blocked on the left and top boundaries.<br />
<br />
I have been able to get the mouse to appear on Monitor 2, but only after a convoluted journey starting at the bottom of Monitor 1.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know the significance of the arrangement of the tiles representing the monitors?<br />
<br />
Here are 2 examples:<br />

<br />
It's easy to drag and drop the tiles, but does the layout have any significance?

I'm happy now - I can move the mouse and objects smoothly across Monitors in the order 1, 2, 3.

Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
I’ve got a &nbsp;Surface Pro 4 running with a Surface Dock and 2 external monitors. <br />
<br />
Looking at <b>Advanced Display Settings</b>:<br />
<br />
Clicking <b>Detect</b> shows:<br />
<br />

<div class="bullet">
monitor 1 is the Surface Pro
</div>
<div class="bullet">
monitor 2 is the Left external
</div>
<div class="bullet">
monitor 3 is the Right external
</div>
<br />
<b>Multiple displays</b> is set to: &nbsp;<b>Extend these displays</b><br />
<br />
My problem is that I can drag apps and windows between monitor 1 and monitor 3.<br />
<br />
But I cannot drag anything to monitor 2 (it just shows the standard Windows 10 background and nothing else).<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />

Windows 10 - Surface Pro 4 with Surface Dock and 2 external monitors - cannot drag anything to one external monitor

A monitor or a display is an electronic visual display for computers, usually comprised of the display device, circuitry, casing, and power supply. The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) thin panel, while older monitors used a cathode ray tube (CRT) about as deep as the screen size. They are connected to the computer via VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, LVDS or other proprietary connectors and signals.

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.
