Virtual Display 1.0.0 RealNVC Server
Hello,
since installing the driver for virtual displays, one or two additional monitors have been added to Windows 11. This is how the feature is intended to work.
How can I prevent the user from moving their cursor or applications outside the physical monitors?
I have the “problem” that the cursor or an application window has “disappeared” … it has been moved to the virtual screens. This is a bit annoying.

Hi J., thanks for raising this. Virtual displays work like additional monitors in Windows, so the cursor and application windows can move onto them.
You can adjust their arrangement under Windows Settings > System > Display, or disconnect the virtual displays when they're not needed.
Are you looking to keep the virtual displays available for remote connections while restricting your local cursor to the physical monitors?
Hi,
I need the virtual display in case the physical monitors are switched off to get a screen.
How can I restrict the cursor to the physical monitors?
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Yours sincerely

Hi Jens, thanks for clarifying.
Since you need the virtual display when your physical monitors are off, keeping it enabled makes sense.
As a workaround, you can go to Windows Settings > System > Display and position the virtual monitor so it shares only a small edge with your physical display. This can help reduce accidental cursor movement, although it won't completely restrict the cursor.
We appreciate your suggestion for better cursor control and will share it with our team.
