  1. Secondary monitor


    Recently I bought a slightly larger monitor and planned to use the older one as a secondary monitor. I went in via 'Display Settings' but have managed to screw things up and I've ended up making this smaller monitor the primary one.
    How might I reverse this and thus make the larger monitor the primary one?
    Thanks.

    :)

  2. How to get Two Touchscreen Monitors to work on one PC with Windows 10.1

    Issue is that touch works fine on primary monitor, but not on secondary. I have seen answers to similar question relating to Win 8, but none seem to work on Win 10.1.

    A weird observation is, that when I tap the secondary monitor, the tap reflects on the primary monitor, but not on the secondary monitor I actually tap.

    Primary monitor works fine.

    Any suggestions?

    I have three monitors. How I can set the default secondary display?

    The problem is that windows is selecting the secondary monitor to display the videos. The program that I'm using don't have the option to set the display video monitor (the secondary monitor). So, there a way to set in windows who monitor is going to
    be the secundary display when you have three monitors?

    Hi @Struggler79, welcome to tenforums.com! *Smile

    Go to Settings/System/Display, pick(highlight) the monitor you want as Primary, check 'Make this my main display', click 'Apply'.

  5. Sadly that didn't work for me as I am not seeing those lower choices showing on your screen as compared with mine. However I have a local guru about t work with Team Viewer for me so the problem should so be overcome.
    Thanks anyway.
