    Multiple display UI control options


    I don't know if there's a way to do this already, but I would like to customize how the taskbar and windows menu works when I have multiple displays connected. Basically, I would like to choose which display hosts the taskbar (ie. not my main display I play games on). I would prefer the taskbar on my secondary display so that I can use my main monitor for gaming without needing to key the windows button to see the taskbar for notifications, accessing sound options, etc. I would instead be able to move my mouse over to the other screen without interruption.
    Along with this, I would like to choose where the pop-up notifications display, as I would rather they be on the top left of my second monitor than the bottom right of my primary monitor. Being able to spread out where things pop up instead of overlaying on top of what I'm doing would be greatly helpful. every so often I get bombarded with notifications from my e-mail and can get distracting.
    For the windows button and pinned apps, I would like to see a function where any program I open will open on the display that I choose it from. So if I chose to open a web browser from my second monitor, the browser would open on the second monitor, and then immediately choose to open another browser by pressing the pinned button on my main monitor so another browser opens except it opens on the main display. That way I don't have to keep moving it if I wanted to open something up on a certain display. I would like all my software to open this way, easily allowing me to quickly choose and execute the programs of my choice on the display of my choice.

    :)

  2. Multiple display taskbar

    Hi Justin,

    Let me guide you now on how to set up multiple displays on a Windows 10 computer. You may follow the steps below to configure the correct display settings for your device.

    Here are the steps:

    • Right-click on your desktop.
    • Select Display settings, then different options will be displayed.
    • You can either choose Duplicate these displays to sync your activities from the original monitor with the second one or
      Extend these displays to be able to do multiple activities using separate displays.
    • After choosing your preferred option, click on Apply.

    Let us know if you have any further questions.

  4. Multiple display UI control options

    display option in control panel in Windows 10

    Looks like version 1703 was the source of the problem. But the display settings I found are not as feature rich for fonts as they were before..i.e. changing the size of desktop icon fonts.
