  1. Can't get applications to use multiple monitors


    Despite my display being set to extend the desktop, I cannot get any fullscreen applications to use all 3 monitors like I want. While I do normally use my second and third monitors for multitasking, there are times where I want to be able to actually use them for the games I'm playing and be able to see more in said games. But when I try, there doesn't seem to be any option to do so.I tried looking it up, but the results were just about what to do if it's opening on the wrong monitor. It isn't, I just want to extend it to all three. You'd think this would happen by default when it's literally

  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.

    Restore window issue in Window 10 1903 when extra Monitor

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    To have a better clarity on the issue and guide you accordingly, kindly help us with the following information:



    • Is the issue specific to DBeaver or does it happen on all the applications?


    The issue could probably be because of the secondary monitor not having its own taskbar. I suggest you to try the steps listed below and check if it works.



    • Right click the Taskbar on your primary monitor and choose Taskbar Settings.
    • Enable Show Taskbar on all the displays under
      Multiple Displays,
      and exit Settings.
    • Now, try restoring a minimized window to see if it works.


    Regards,
