Explanation
Windows needs to know the physical arrangement of monitors to allow the mouse cursor to flow naturally between them. When a second monitor is added, Windows defaults to a certain layout that may not match the physical setup. In Display Settings (right-click desktop > Display Settings), the 'Arrange your displays' section shows numbered monitor icons that can be dragged to match physical positions. Since the original HDMI monitor is physically on the left and the new USB monitor is on the right, Windows must be configured to reflect that layout. Swapping cables (B) would not fix a software layout issue. There is no standard Ctrl+Alt+=> shortcut for display orientation (C). Updating display drivers (D) addresses rendering issues, not monitor positioning.
