anyway to lock my cursor?
my cursor is still active on my other montior, for example it'll scroll through my games when i scroll in my inventory, without downloading external software or changing my display settings, does anyone have an idea on how to fix it? i'm fine with downloading mods too if need be

"LockCursor - Locks mouse cursor to game window, preventing scrolling on secondary monitors."
So display tweaks should do what you want. Im sure other mods have same functionality given mountain of bug fix mods and overlap of fixes.

Since most of us play with one monitor and have no issues with this you could try disconnecting the second monitor before playing.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

Just note its one of those rather large mods in terms of fixes so if you have weird behavior trying change fps cap or something similar you likely have to adjust the ini/config for display tweaks as well.

I play on one monitor too, but the cursor not being locked down did give me an issue once. I kept accidentally selecting the 'unlock' option in Mod Organizer while I was playing, and often this would lead to me accidentally moving mods around randomly in my load order, forcing me to abandon playthroughs multiple times. Now, I quickly minimize Mod Organizer to prevent this from happening. Yes, apparently your cursor is still active and works fine, even if you have Skyrim open through Mod Organizer. I've even accidentally opened my start menu while playing Skyrim in the past. Seriously.

Bethesda games are always a giant mess when it comes to displays and mouse locking. Its amazing how decades of experience isnt enough to fix issue that crosses Fallout 3, new vegas, oblivion, skyrim, skyrim se, fallout 4. I wouldnt be mad but i remember getting onetweak and some other mod for fallout 3/new vegas and oldrim. Irony is I dont use multiple displays currently because I am using 32 inch and lack space on my current desk.

Most games are with duel monitors.

You make a joke about it, but knowing Bethesda I wouldn't put it past them to turn up at your door with the police to do exactly that....:steamsalty:

Try looking at the date next time.

And since it was before a better solution came along, yes it was.... again at the time.
