Clicking out of Arma glitch

[Kratom Enthusiast 11]

I have been having an issue with clicking out of Arma 3 after joining the server. While playing I will go to click over to my second monitor, only to find that my mouse is useless.  I can't click anything. Its almost like my mouse is stuck on my first monitor as it will still highlight the wiki tab on the escape menu when I have my mouse on the second monitor. 

I have researched solutions and cannot find anything that will help me. It seems like other people having the issue can alt tab to task manager and close arma 3 to fix it. I cant even do that. not to mention, having to do that every time I want to access discord would suck. 

its not even my second monitor that is the issue. The issue started before I bought a second monitor and I still can't use my main monitor.

Has anyone gone through this before and fixed it? If you have a solution that works I will give you a prowler nvst.

Been too lazy to ever fix it, pretty sure it's to do with fullscreen mode or something. Ctrl + Alt + Delete (if you can't click cancel in there then just press escape) fixes it though

play in fullscreen borderless

ctrl + alt + delete will give you back your cursor

Hitting Escape works for me, once the options menu pops up your cursor isnt used for aiming anymore. But yeah you want windowed fullscreen as mentioned earlier I think that will make the focusing of windows easier.

So much this. It fixes so many stupid problems with Arma.

This was an issue for me for a long time when I played in full screen.  Fun thing is, it still happens occasionally in borderless haha.  I have not spent much time looking into it though.

I only play in full screen borderless and it still does it

Yea I have been playing in full screen borderless and its still happening but @ Zeuse  came in clutch with the Ctrl + Alt + Delete and cancel strat. Makes it so I don't have to restart my computer like an idiot.
