I have a problem with Steam games and epic games

Hello,
I've been having trouble with my mouse cursor since yesterday. When I started a game on Steam or Epic Games and was in the game, my mouse cursor was not limited (I have two monitors) and I could easily go to the second monitor. I started games like Valorant by Riot Games or Assassins Creed parts by Ubi, my mouse cursor was normally limited and I had to press ALT and Tab to get to the second monitor. I've already tried everything I can to fix this. I changed the settings in the games (full screen/window mode), I checked the Steam settings, I updated my graphics driver again, I checked for broken data and scanned my PC, I restarted my PC several times and now I uninstalled and reinstalled Steam but it still doesn't work.I only have this problem with games that run on Steam and games that run on Epic. There are other options such as turning off the second monitor or installing a program to limit the mouse cursor, but I don't want to do that because it worked without any problems before. Please help

Not sure but it sounds like you had a GPU Driver update, and now dont have Separated or side by side or front and back Monitor, this is setup issue with Nvidia controll panel, i dont know name of AMD GPU card topic that controll same area, but basic same thingy, i assume its this, but i did not had your select i has a plasma screen in living room and pc in other so i did the clone Solutions ofc.

You might want to check if settings has change, if this is not the problem then i dont know what it is.
