  1. Problem with my right side monitor moving apps to the primary monitor when alt tabbing out...


    As the heading says, when i am playing a game fullscreen on my middle primary monitor, if i alt tab out of game, whatever is up on my 3rd monitor which is to the right of my primary, will switch to the primary screen, i cant seem to find a solution to this problem other then to move the location of the screen in the display settings to be left of the primary screen and the screen on my left, which works to keep the the apps open on the right screen but isn't an ideal solution as requires me to move my mouse pointer left through my left screen to get to my right screen, is there a solution so the the right screen doesnt move the apps to the primary when alt tabbing out of fullscreen??

    :)

    The taskbar locked to bottom of secondary monitor moves to the primary monitor whenever primary monitor is switched on.

    See the title.

    I have the taskbar locked at the bottom of the secondary monitor so the primary monitor is completely empty for watching movies, games TV etc.

    Whenever I turn the primary monitor on, the taskbar immediately jumps from the bottom of the seconday monitor over to the bottom of the primary monitor. I then need to untick the 'Locked' option on the taskbar, drag it back to the secondary and tick 'Locked'
    again.

    The taskbar disrupts desktop icons on the primary and any application running on the primary monitor at the time and quite frustrating.

    Primary monitor is an Asus PB328, connected via Display Port to the PC.

    Secondary monitor is a Samsung 24 connected via DVI to the PC.

    I expect the taskbar to remain where I place it when locked, regardless of monitors been switched on or off.

    The sequence of turning on the primary and secondary monitors has no impact. As soon as the primary monitor (Asus on DP) is turned on, the locked taskbar moves to the primary display, regardless of whether the Samsung is on or not.

  3. Mouse does not move to other monitors from some areas of my primary monitor

    My primary laptop and my other 2 monitors are on different resolutions. The 2 and 3 monitors on the display setting window appear tinier than my primary monitor, and I'm guessing this is because of the resolution difference, and the way I arrange the other
    monitors determines the half of my primary laptop from which I can move the mouse between the monitors. For instance, if I set the 2 and 3 monitors to the right of the first monitor, on the upper half, then moving my mouse from the first laptop to the second
    monitor works only from the upper half of my laptop. Is there any way I can make my mouse move the 2nd monitor across my entire laptop screen? Also, is there any feature that enables me to move the mouse directly from the right corner of my 3rd monitor to
    the first laptop?

    Desktop icons move to primary monitor after connecting external monitor

    Original title: Desktop icons move

    After I arrange my desktop icons on my laptop, everything is fine until I plug in an external monitor. Then all icons move to the right of my laptop screen which is my primary display. How do I correct this problem so that icons DO NOT move with an external
    monitor attached?
