Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

My new laptop detects both monitors but will only let them be operational in mirroring my laptop.  When I try to extend the desktop to both monitors... The browsers will stay open on my laptop but the cursor is stuck and only operational in the second external monitor. And the first external monitor is just for show.  Both are powered up and totally okay when I put them in mirroring and I can run browsers and both but I don't like that.  I want to extend my desktop to the two external monitors but when I do that cursor gets stuck on one monitor and the browsers open on another monitor.  Does this make sense and can someone help me?

Please use display 2 as extended and keep display 1 (notebook screen) as main. Do not set extended to both.

 

Regards.
