  1. How do I toggle ALL opened apps between monitors? Laptop w/ external monitor


    Dear Microsoft,I have faced an issue where I would have liked to toggle the content of the opened applications between two monitors and I have not found any possible shortcut for this. I know the shortcut Win+Shift+Left Arrow/Right Arrow, but that only toggles the currently used app to the other screen.If there is a way to do that, please let me know. I would really apreciate it.Looking forward to your reply,Sevy Benedek

    :)

  2. Applications Not Opening on my External Monitor

    I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop running Win 10. I have a Samsung external monitor attached via HDMI.

    My background display and task bar DO appear on the external monitor, but when I open applications such as Outlook, Google Chrome, etc., they open on the laptop screen NOT on my external monitor.

    I have shutdown both the laptop and external monitor and rebooted. The external monitor is listed in Device listing. I have the display setup for Extended Desktop and when I select Identify, it shows me 1 as the laptop and 2 as the external monitor.
    I have unplugged both ends of the HDMI cable.

    How do I get apps to open on my external monitor? Thanks for any assistance. Cheryl

    Applications Not Opening on my External Monitor

    Hello,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    As you are able to view the desktop and task bar on the external monitor, I suggest you to drag the applications from the laptop screen on to the external monitor and check the result.



    However, Windows 10 will open the applications on the primary monitor.

    Windows retains the position of the application that is opened, if the application is opened and dragged to the secondary monitor, upon closing the application and reopening it. The application will open on the secondary monitor.



    Hope it helps.



    Regards,

    External Monitor

    We appreciate your response. To isolate issues caused by resolution, we'd recommend performing the following:

    • Search and launch Display using Cortana.
    • Locate and click on Advanced display settings.
    • Click on the specified monitor.
    • Under Resolution, toggle to 1920 x 1080.
    • Click on Apply.
    • If no change on your second monitor, unplug and replug the HDMI cable on your laptop.

    Note: You can click the Open Display Settings button on this
    link
    as an alternative way to open the Display section of Windows.

    Should the steps above don't suffice, we'd recommend checking the specified receiver with another computer to further isolate the issue.

    Let us know how it goes after you've performed the steps.
