  1. Throwing active window between multiple monitors using touch screens


    Way back in the day I remember being able to grab my active window with my mouse cursor and "throw" it around the screen. Yhis may have been an old version of Microsoft Plus!

    I now have Windows 10 and multiple touch screen monitors. I would like to grab my active window with my finger and "throw" it to another monitor (kinda like Tony Stark does in the Avengers movies).

    I obviously cannot drag it between monitors (especially up and down).

    Is this possible?

    :)

  2. Touch Screen Monitor Recommendation

    As the title implies, my friend is looking for a cheap and small touch screen monitor for general use on his pc. He's got an HIS 5850 (reference design) for the gpu, so hopefully they're compatible with that.

    I have no idea what to look for in a touch screen, all I know is that he wants a small one and cheap one. Any suggestions?

    Also, how do they hook up? Does it just use a standard DVI connection and a USB to transmit the data or is it a special cable?

  3. Full screen with multiple monitors

    Hi Adrian,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you need to get Windows 10 full screen / maximize to span multiple monitors rather than just one monitor.

    Please answer the below question to assist you better.

    What is the make and model of the computer?

    Follow the below methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    Press Windows Key + P Keyboard Shortcut

    1. Close all open programs.

    2. Hold down the Windows key and press the
    P key on your keyboard.

    3. Select one of the following display style options

    o PC Screen Only

    o Duplicate

    o Extend

    o Second Screen Only

    Method 2: Display Settings Menu

    • Close all open programs.
    • Right-click an empty area on your desktop, and click Display Settings.
    • Click the Multiple Displays drop-down list, and select
      Duplicate these displays
      or Extend these displays or
      Show only on 1
      or Show only on 2.

      If you cannot see the second monitor(s) listed, click Detect. If this does not work, try to reconnect the cables on your monitor, restart the computer and repeat steps 1 and 2.
    • Click Identify to see which monitor is number 1 (Primary Monitor) and number 2 (Secondary Monitor).

    • Click Keep Changes if you are prompted to save the changes made to the display settings.

    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

    Touch Screen as Second Monitor - Apps launching on main monitor


    Hi,

    Does anyone have any experience with using a touch screen as a second monitor.

    I have managed to get it to use the touch functionality, so I can press on the touch screen and it will launch Edge, for example. However, my next problem is that it is launching the applications on my main monitor.

    Is there some setting I need to change so that it launches on the second monitor.

    For some more detail, we are trying to set up Promethean V5 smart panels for a classroom setup. There will be the V5 board connected to a PC and the PC will also have a monitor. The PC monitor has to stay as the main monitor and the setup will be extended (this is not an issue when setting up as a duplicate screen, for obvious reasons).

    If anyone has any useful tips or suggestions on things to try I would really appreciate them.

    Thanks
