  1. Multiple monitors


    It is stupid that I have to rewrite this question because for some random reason it completely disapeared.

    So i have 3 monitors. The one in the middle is my main one and both on the sides I use for leaving some pages open or watching youtube videos.

    The problem is that whenever I drag my web browser to one of the screens, the next time I want to open another instance of the web browser, the web browser opens on the same monitor i put the page last time. This is outrageous, I have set my middle monitor as the main on and I practiaclly do all my work on it, the ones on the sides are small and hard to use, so I only use them for leaving static pages or a youtube video. I hate that every time when I want to open another instance of my web browser, it automatically opens on one of the small monitors and then I have to take it and drag it back to my main monitor. It practically happens with everything.

    Please tell me if there is an option to make all my apps start on my main monitor as if i wouldn't have the monitors on the sides.

    Thank you and I hope that this question is not going to disapear as it did in the last time...

    :)

  2. i have a problem to connect 2 monitors.

    Hi Ron,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    • What changes did you make in the BIOS? As making the changes in the BIOS is only recommended by Microsoft if done by the manufacturer.
    • How are you connecting to the 2nd monitor?
    I suggest you to follow the steps from this article below:

    [Applies to Windows 10 as well]

    Regards.
