    Dual Monitor Problem


    Overall I'm delighted with Windows 10 but I have one relatively minor problem with my dual monitors. The taskbar on the second monitor won't auto-hide. It just sits there.

    Any suggestions?

    :)

  2. Dual Monitors not working in Windows 10

    <Original Title: Dual Monitors not working>

    I had dual monitor setup that worked no problems with Windows 7, after making the jump to Windows 10 though, the dual monitor setup won't work. It's not that the second monitor doesn't show anything, the problem is that both monitors are displaying the exact
    same thing. Whenever I try to detect a second monitor it says that it didn't detect another display, and I also cannot change my resolution. I have an HP 2210m hooked up with a DVI cable and an RCA TV hooked up with a HDMI cable. Any help is appreciated.

  3. On 1 computer, Is it possible to play 2 separate audio files from 2 separate programs to 2 different speaker sources at the same time?

    I have my computer hooked up to my dual monitor. Surround sound is hooked into the dual monitor, so i can play music through the dual monitor to my surround sound. My headphone jack is still open to plug in headphones into my computer. Problem: I want
    to play Spotify through the dual monitor / surround sound system and listen to my recorded lecture notes through my headphones at the same time. Is there any software that would allow this? Can i do this without downloading software?

    Dual Monitor Problem

    One more thing I would like to add is that the task bar on the second monitor does not show time and the system tray. How do I enable that?

    I don't think you can. The time and system tray only show on the primary monitor. That's the same as it was in Windows 8.1 and 7.
