multiple monitors

Nope. I tried everything, just as it's listed, and when the final step was done, the number 1 monitor was still the external. All of the window was on the external monitor. I did the Windows+P and clicked extend, the "main" monitor had a jumble of images,
with one being the right side of the window, on the left, and the left side of the window on the right, as if the page had been moved between the two monitors, but the entire image on one monitor. Does that make sense? Difficult to imagine, I guess. But I
can't do a Snipping tool, or a print screen, only Ctrl+Alt+Delete, click on "Task Manager", and the screen corrects itself. Do you know how irritating that is?
