  1. Apps and Multiple Monitors


    Wasn't sure what to put for the heading on this.

    Does anyone know of a way to have an app open on a particular monitor when running more monitors than 1?

    The person runs 2 monitors and watches movies on 1 while working on the other. This is a part of his query
    ..............
    The way I have my dual display set I have a Taskbar on both monitors even though I'm set for extended and not duplicate. It would be nice if I could figure out a way to get apps to show on the same monitor from which they are launched. For instance, if I clicked on an app pinned to the Taskbar, it would open on the same monitor as the launching Taskbar.
    ...................

    Any help will be appreciated.

    :)

  2. i have a problem to connect 2 monitors.

    Hi Ron,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    • What changes did you make in the BIOS? As making the changes in the BIOS is only recommended by Microsoft if done by the manufacturer.
    • How are you connecting to the 2nd monitor?
    I suggest you to follow the steps from this article below:

    [Applies to Windows 10 as well]

    Regards.

    Hi Waffles,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern but we don't have an option to add clock to multiple monitor's except on main monitor.

    I suggest you to give your feedback in feedback app.

    Thanks.

    Multiple Monitor Setup Question

    Hi,

    Changing the monitor to be the main display is one of the possible ways to resolve your concern. We need to set the monitor you prefer to be the main display thru Settings app. Follow the steps below:

    • Open Settings.
    • Click System.
    • Click Display in the left pane.
    • Click Identity to know monitor number you wish to set as the main display.
    • Select the monitor number, then click the Make this my main display check box.
    • Click Apply.
    Keep us in the loop with the result.
