Skyrim SE Anniversary Windowless Borderless mode?
I can't seem to get borderless mode to work no matter what I try in this game. I've tried everything from the start up launcher ficking and unticking windowed mode / borderless mode in different patterns, I've tried installing BethINI and OneTweak but I don't know if it's Skyrim just being weird but my mouse cursor refuses to go to my other monitor. I've tried on Fallout 4 and borderless mode works fine for both windowed and windowless mode. Is Skyrim just strange and won't allow dual monitor cursor functionality or what? I don't want to alt tab and have my computer have a seizure every time I need to change a youtube video or something.

Multi monitor support is rare, you need a mod to fix it, I can't remember the exact name though.

Is it important to you that you have the game running in windowless borderless mode? I run the game fullscreen, and I've never had trouble using multiple monitors. I often have diagnostic info on the second monitor and/or a web browser open. I just alt-tab back to the desktop if I want to load a different web page.

It's pretty important to me because I'm usually using both monitors simultaneously almost all the time as I discord and xbox app chat with people nearly constantly.

Have you tried SSE Display Tweaks[www.nexusmods.com]? It should give you better performance in borderless mode. It also has a bunch of other interesting features, including upscaling. I doubt it will help with your question, though.

Maybe one thing you could do is call up the Steam overlay. I honestly don't remember if that releases the mouse, but I think maybe it does. Sorry for the vague hint...
