Windows 10 guest, mouse not working with dual monitors

Post by td2022 »

Host: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
Guest: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (10.0, Build 19044)
VB: 6.1.40 r154048
VBoxSVGA displaying on 2 HD monitors
Nvidia drivers

The mouse pointer does not track properly and causes double or triple selection of icons. Problem goes away if I disable the second display.

Vbox.log attached

Others have mentioned setting System/Motherboard/Pointing Device to 'PS/2 Mouse' instead of 'USB Tablet' as a workaround.
