  1. Multiple screens


    Why does Windows suck so much at multi screen use? If I press the start button on my laptop, and start typing something, it begins to filter it in place but then suddenly moves the start menu off to the "main screen". Every time I go away from my laptop (a Surface), when I come back all the windows are moved and resized into the top left-hand corner of my large external screen. Some programs crash (e.g. Windows Terminal) others behave super weirdly (conhost thinks the last visible line is the one that would be applicable on the large screen even though the window is tiled on the built in screen). If I drag one window to the small screen against the left margin it tiles it and then displays micro versions of all the windows on the main screen as though to say "if you click one of these options, i'll put it over here in this space". But it doesn't work.

    It's frustrating. If I go to the loo I shouldn't have to spend the next several minutes trying to work out which windows have gone where. Imagine if every time you spoke to a colleague someone would come up to your desk and rearrange everything!

    Am I doing something wrong or is this part of Windows genuinely that bad? If it really is full of problems, are there suitable workarounds to return windows to a useful spot despite the laptop sleeping?

    (I've semi recently started using Windows for work after being a Linux only guy since Windows 2000 (and I started using Linux in around 97). I only actually got the external screen at the beginning of the month.)

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds
