  1. Minor second monitor problem


    So, I recent got a second monitor, and it's amazing, my whole setup feels completely different. One minor issue I have with it though is that when I'm gaming, I want to have my game on one monitor with yt or Spotify or Faceit or whatever on my second. The only problem is I have to tab out of my game to control what's on the second monitor, meaning I lose the game on the second monitor. Is there any way around this? I have AHK if there is some sort of keybind I could make.

  2. Second monitor screen resolution problem

    Hi,

    For us to properly isolate the issue with your second monitor screen resolution, we would like to know the following:


    • Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue (e.g., updates, software installation)?

    • When did the issue first begin?

    • To make sure that we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you try resetting your monitor settings, and check if the issue still persists. You may refer to your monitor on how to reset it.

    We look forward to your response.

    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?

    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?
