Dual Monitor Issue - Game tabs out when I move mouse too far over.

A few weeks ago this problem started happening to me randomly, I run dual monitors and when I am turning and aiming my mouse will move off my primary monitor I am playing on and click my secondary monitor and it will minimize BF4.  I have tried every video setting (windowed, borderless, fullscreen) and still get the same results.  My only solution is to turn off my second monitor when I am playing, which I dont want to do because I am starting to stream and want to check my other monitor periodically.  It all started 2-3 weeks ago, before then there was no problems at all.  Maybe its an Nvidia issue with one of its latest drivers? Im running with a GTX 780 ti.  Any solutions or tips would be greatly appreciated.

    I have this same problem. Started happening to me a few days ago. Rather annoyingly, it seems to do it more often when I'm in the middle of shooting at members of the enemy team.

    It seems like I have to back out of the game, then relaunch it a second time for the game to play smoothly without doing this.

    It's weird because it never did this when I first started playing ~2 months ago, and I haven't updated any drivers to new versions lately. So, it must be related to some game patch I assume.

    I was doing some research on this and found a temporary fix that seems to be working.  This video walks you through it, very simple and the program has a free trial.  Essentially you set a keybind and it locks your mouse to your primary monitor, and just hit the hotkey again and you're back to normal.

    Im going to use this method until I can figure out how to fix the problem without the need of a program.
