@Abhishek Rao Adjusting the scaling works but it makes every other tab basically unusable. Is there a better solution yet?

Hi! I tried all that too. I ended up posting again on here with more details, see thread: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/issues-with-monitor-displays-and-indesign-tools/m-p/15136819#M609615 However, the best suggestion I got was uninstalling the most recent windows update. I unfortunately did not want to do that because it felt like in the long run that was going to do more harm then good. However, I did find a temporary fix. If you change your "main display" in your display settings on your computer to your monitor instead of your laptop you will be able to use InDesign on your monitors fine just not your laptop (when plugged in). InDesign will still work on your laptop if you're not plugged in. I posted on reddit too and someone suggested this temporary fix: On display settings change it so the size of text, app and other items % the same on both displays. So you could try that as well, but I personally changed my monitor to be my main display for now.

I recently got new monitors. Ever since I've been having this issue where ONLY IN INDESIGN, I am unable to move objects with the direct selection tool where I want them to go. If I try, the object will jump across the screen or refuse to move all together. Nothing is locked. This happens for any kind of object in all documents. Sometimes when I try to move something, it randomly creates "snippets" on my desktop as well. I can use the arrow keys still to move objects around. I seem to be getting a similar error anytime I try to click and drag anything. For example, duplicating a page by dragging the page down to the + "Create new page" button at the bottom of my pages window or duplicating a swatch in a similar fashion in the swatches panel. I can right-click and still duplicate both. It's only when I drag that I get a red error circle. This problem was ONLY OCCURRING when I had Indesign on the monitor's screen. It was working fine if I moved it over to my laptop screen.
A temporary fix I've found is making my monitor the "main display" in my display settings. Now I can work normally on Indesign on the monitor. BUT the problem still happens if I move my indesign over to my laptop screen instead now. If I unplug from my monitors, InDesign works fine on my laptop.
The problem started after I updated my windows to the most recent update. I've reset my preferences, updated my indesign from 2024 to 2025, uninstalled and reinstalled indesign, updated my NVIDIA driver, tried plugging in completely different monitors, restarting my computer, etc etc. I don't want to rollback the update because I think that's a temporary fix.
Any advice?

I just got new monitors - every time I use Indesign now this is how my selection tool looks, and I can't move objects. I've already reset my preferences, restarted my computer, uninstalled and reinstalled my indesign. It works fine on my laptop screen. It sometimes creates a "snippet" on my desktop when I try to move an object. I can still move things with my arrow keys. This is what it looks like.

I just got new monitors. I can use Indesign just fine on my laptop...however when I have Indesign dragged over to my external monitors, my selection tool won't move objects. It creates snippets on my desktop... I can still use the arrow keys to move it around and it works on my laptop even when I'm plugged into the monitors. My settings are on extend not duplicate. I'm on a PC.
