I attempted to enable Discord overlay while I had Apex Legends open. Once I enabled this feature, my mouse no longer stayed locked in main game. My cursor is viewable at all times. Mouse will scroll over to second monitor and cause me to click out when attempting to interact with game play. 

I have done the following troubleshooting:

Restarted PC

Restarted Apex Legends

Restarted Origin Application

Disabled Discord Overlay

Disabled Origin In Game Overlay

Disabled Origin In Game Overlay in Apex game properties

Repaired Discord files

Repaired Apex files

Uninstalled Discord

Deleted Discord regedit entries

Reinstalled Discord

Uninstalled Origin

**No Origin regedit entries

Reinstalled Origin

Uninstalled Apex Legends

**No Apex regedit entries

Reinstalled Apex Legends

Moved secondary monitor to GPU

Moved secondary monitor back to CPU

Scanned for hardware changes

Updated mouse drivers

Updated NVIDIA drivers

Updated Windows drivers

No errors in DxDiag.txt (Attached to this form)

Toggled between Fullscreen, windowed, and borderless window mode numerous times

Ran Apex without Discord installed

Changed monitor resolution (Windows)

Many of these steps have been taken multiple times over the course of 3 days. Any insight would be lovely since I stream and now I cannot play my main game.
