Windows 10 - Surface Pro 4 with Surface Dock and 2 external monitors - cannot drag anything to one external monitor
Hi Experts,
I’ve got a Surface Pro 4 running with a Surface Dock and 2 external monitors.
Looking at Advanced Display Settings:
Clicking Detect shows:
Multiple displays is set to: Extend these displays
My problem is that I can drag apps and windows between monitor 1 and monitor 3.
But I cannot drag anything to monitor 2 (it just shows the standard Windows 10 background and nothing else).
Regards,
Leigh

Clicking Detect shows:
monitor 1 is the Surface Pro
monitor 2 is the Left external
monitor 3 is the Right external

But I cannot drag anything to monitor 2 (it just shows the standard Windows 10 background and nothing else).

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.
Here are the monitor numbers as given by the Identify command:
I can drag items up from Monitor 1 to Monitor 3.
But moving the mouse on Monitor 3 is blocked on the left and top boundaries.
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.
Does anyone know the significance of the arrangement of the tiles representing the monitors?
Here are 2 examples:
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.
