    Multiple monitors. How do I make apps open on the screen launched from


    Basically, if I launch Firefox using the taskbar on monitor one I want it to open on monitor one, and if I launch it from monitor 2 I want it to open on monitor 2. I don't want it to just default to the previous configuration every time. is that possible? If it's of any help the monitors are each plugged into their own video card, both are AMD R9 290s

    :)

    Snap (double screen)

    How can I make my screen snap if I'm using two monitors? It would be nice if I could right click on the menu bar and have a dropdown option to snap when I have two screens open or double screens. Obviously I can't just click and drag to snap the screen as
    you can do with a single monitor screen.

    There should be a way to do multiple snap screens with multiple monitors/screens...

    That's my suggestion... Thanks,

    Duplicate App Opens When I Click On Tile

    What I've described is not an issue. It is a default behavior Windows 10. Windows 8 did not behave this way. What is want is a method to make it behave like it used to.

    IF you are in tablet mode, and you press on a tile from the Start Screen, and that app is already opened, it simply takes you to that app. This is what I want to do.

    My desktop has multiple monitors, therefore Windows will not allow tablet mode, only desktop.

    When you're in desktop mode, and you click on a tile, and that app is already open, it opens ANOTHER version of the same app. How do I turn this off?

    Multiple monitors. How do I make apps open on the screen launched from

    Have you downloaded AMD's Crimson software? You should have everything sticking to where it was when you shut down. They should not be changing even if you are not using the Crimson software. It has been an annoyance for a while. I take it that you have even tried swapping which monitor is Monitor 1 and Monitor 2. All display drivers are up to date, along with same resolution on both monitors. Make sure that "Auto Detect" is also disabled on both monitors.

    That's like the exact opposite of my problem. I said "how do I" and not "why does"


    I'll try it out, thanks.
