Hello
I use 5.2.4 version, on an host with windows 8.1
the vm is with w10 pro
when only one screen, no problem at all
when I activate the second screen, the cursor is not seen at the place where he is active, ie on the first screen I see the arrow about 7 cm on the right of the active zone, and on the second screen about 2 cm on the left of the real active zone !
I have tried to modify the resolution, the memory allowed to video, the kind of pointing (mouse/tablet), nothing changes
When I desactivate the second screen, everything works well again.
Any idea ?
thanks

That's an old version and there is a bug with multiple screens that was fixed with later versions. See: Windows 10 latest feature update 1809 breaks dual screen (#18016). Upgrade to either 5.2.26 or 6.0.4.

Second screen where? Host? Guest?

thanks for interest :)
I just upgraded to 6.0.4, nothing changes :(

I have a second screen connected to my all in one MSI host machine with an hdmi cable

I have made a check with another VM which is under XP Pro.
No problem with the cursor.
The difference I can see between the two VMs is that under XP the second screen is empty, I mean no Icon, no taskbar, but under W10 I have a taskbar in the second screen too. Could it be the problem ?

Even I have the same issue where the cursor is not working fine

The problem I'm experiencing is when running 2 monitors hosted by a Windows 10 machine, the mouse no longer functions properly.

Full Description of Problem:
I have installed Windows 10 for my Mac book pro with the help of a virtual box and connecting to two virtual screens. Mouse when being used is responding weirdly, however, they are offset. With 2 monitor setup, the mouse clicks are less offset. When I click on the first screen it reflects to the second screen and wise versa. The mouse pointing is the completely indifferent direction.


Please help me with the solution here.
