    Dual monitor issue


    Right this one is strange. I have windows 10, dual monitor set up. It is an intermittent and unpredictable behaviour.


    What happens occasionally is that the second monitor (only happens on that one) will be working fine maximising and minimising windows. The without warning the 'top' 10% or so of the screen becomes 'see through' and displays my desktop. The open window navigation is lost. I click the task bar at the bottom and ask the windows to be side by side and it is fine. I maximise the window again and same see through. I refresh the screen. Same. The only way I can stop the behaviour and get the normal function back is to restart my computer.


    I attach a screenshot showing the 'see through' window:

    Dual monitor, Dual mouse??

    Hello,

    Please share this information to assist you better.

    • How have you setup dual monitors?
    • Are you referring to use 2 different mouse/keyboard with the dual monitor setup?
    If yes, the mouse or keyboard may function same as one another. Since, it has to be connected to single PC/tower.

    However, setting up 2 different mouse/keyboard with the Dual- monitor setup, it may not function separately for each monitor.

    Let us know the status of the issue. We will assist you further.
