HP Omen laptop w/ 1060 not locking cursor to fullscreen games

[my_dude]

I have an HP Omen gaming laptop w/ an intel i7-8750H and nvidia 1060. A few months ago, I had to reinstall windows because it wouldn't launch some applications like game launchers, adobe products, and CAD software. I use my laptop with a TV that acts as my second monitor via an HDMI cable. Before the reinstall, everything was working fine when it came to running dual monitors. Now, only some things work.

After the reinstalling of windows 10, I noticed that some games didn't want to bind the cursor to my main display, and that if I went too far to the right, my cursor would go to the TV and minimize my game window. So far, I've noticed this in Genshin Impact, Rainbow Six Siege, and Valorant. However, my cursor stays on my main display when I play CSGO, Overwatch, and Left 4 Dead. I have no tested any other games thus far. All of the above mentioned games are at 1080p and fullscreen. I've tried changing refresh rates and resolution and even window type but nothing seems to work.

I have updated all my drivers and ran multiple tests to see if anything would bind my cursor to all of my fullscreen games, but nothing has worked so far. I have checked my windows display settings and have even tried uninstalling and reinstalling games and nothing worked. I know I can move the position of the monitor in display settings and I can get software that would bind my cursor. I would like to leave those as last resorts since I dont like how it interferes with my workflow.  I would also like to try avoiding reinstalling windows, but if push comes to shove I will.

UPDATE: Dual Monitor Tools still won't bind my cursor in game
