    Task View black on 2nd monitor


    I have a dual monitor set up. When I use Task View, it looks fine on my main monitor but on my 2nd monitor it's black and the program windows are black too. I can still see the name and the outlines of the windows on the 2nd monitor on Task View but they're all black. I've tried googling this issue but I can't seem to find a solution. Has anyone else encountered this?

    :)

    2nd Monitor.

    I recently bought a 2nd monitor and I connected it to my PC but there is a problem. The problem is that windows 10 has detected it and I have extended my display but my 2nd monitor wont display anything it just stays black. Can someone help me please.

    Black Screen on Task View

    Hey! So I was curious, and wanted to figure out how many virtual desktops my system can handle. So, I turned on the auto clicker, and watched. I ended up getting 713 virtual desktops. Then, I closed task view, and remembered, I need to close all those desktops.
    When I clicked the task view button, half of the screen is covered in black and the other half is my wallpaper.

    This is really annoying, as it slows my computer noticeably. Any suggestions on how to delete 712 desktops without using task view?

    Task View black on 2nd monitor

    When I use an app in the 2nd monitor the resolution is fine. Just the desktop and the task bar resolution is too big on 2nd monitor.

    Original Title: Desktop resolution - multiple monitors

    When I use an app in the 2nd monitor the resolution is fine. Just the desktop and the task bar resolution is too big on 2nd monitor. Using Lenovo yoga 3 and 3.0 pro dock.

    How do I adjust the desktop on 2nd monitor (extended)
