    How can I set up a touchscreen as the non-primary monitor in a dual monitor situation with W11


    Hello, I have been using W11 for a few weeks. I have a configuration with two monitors and I use a desktop computer. The main monitor is 34 inches 3440*1440 -> main monitor The secondary monitor is 24 inches with a touch screen 1920*1080. When I try to use my touchscreen secondary monitor with my fingers, I automatically get interaction on my main monitor and not on my secondary monitor as I should. I remember I had this problem with W10 but I switched to tablet mode and the problem was solved. Now, the tablet mode is gone from W11 and option dissapear. Any suggestion to solve

    :)

    Touchscreen keyboard with dual monitor

    Hi,

    I'm trying to set up my Windows 10 laptop so that I have the laptop in tablet mode for writing on, and an extra monitor attached for other tasks. However, when I want to type in the secondary monitor, the touchscreen keyboard appears on the monitor, rather
    than on the laptop screen.

    Is there any way to lock the touchscreen keyboard so that it only appears on the primary screen?

    Thanks in advance!

    Touchscreen as second monitor


    I have a laptop that has a touchscreen, and uses HDMI for an external monitor, plus a mini displayport for another external monitor (neither external monitor is a touchscreen). I use the external monitors for my main work, so have the primary display on one of these, and not the laptop screen. I also, in Win8.1, set the touch and tablet settings so that the touchscreen was identified as the laptop screen. Before the tablet setting was changed then using the laptop touchscreen effected the external monitor setup as the primary screen. Once the tablet setting was changed then it all worked brilliantly, with some small issues with screen resolution (3840x2160 laptop screen vs 1920x1080 external monitors).

    Now I have updated to Win10, then I think most of the small screen resolution issues have gone (some new ones seem to have appeared, but I'm sure they will iron out over the next few months), but it has reverted to the touchscreen only being for the primary display. So I touch the laptop screen, and it effects the external monitor set as primary display.

    Annoyingly I can't find the tablet setting that allowed you to state which display should be effected by the touchscreen. As Win10 is very new then I can't find documentation on how to change this.

    Does anyone know how to change these settings in Windows 10?

    Cheers

    Touchscreen monitor

    Hi, I'm looking into buying a touchscreen monitor for use with a Dell Inspiron 660 desktop pc rnning Windows 8 in order to fully utilise the touchscreen facilities of Windows 8.
    I'm preliminary looking at the Iiyama T2250MTS or T2452MTS touchscreen monitors. Anyone had experience of these, do they fully work under Windows 8?
    Any other suggestions of monitors in the £200-£350 range?
    Thanks
