  1. Using second monitor with windows 11


    We have an employee who wants to keep her primary monitor as her main display, and does not want to make the secondary monitor her main display, but wants to have all her icons, and when saving to desktop, wants them all on the secondary monitor. The only way I have found to accomplish what she wants is to make the seconday monitor her main display, then drag the applications she wants on the primary over to it. She does not want to have to do this. Sorry if not clear, but anyone have an idea to make this work for the user, or is my suggestion the only way to accomplish this? Appreciate yo

    :)

  3. Issues while installing a second monitor in Windows 10

    Really? I get a canned answer and nothing else? I posted that I had tried everything that I could find posted online. I did read the post that Andre suggested multiple times prior to posting this request for help. None of it helped.

    My computer does not recognize that there is a second monitor is plugged in. The small step of changing the settings so I can put stuff on the second monitor ISN'T the issue. I am not that dumb. in the device manager there is only the single monitor listed
    at one point there was a unknown device listed but my computer did not know if it was a monitor or a printer.

    There has to be someone out there that knows how to fix this

    Please Help

    Second monitor screen resolution problem

    Hi,

    For us to properly isolate the issue with your second monitor screen resolution, we would like to know the following:


    • Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue (e.g., updates, software installation)?

    • When did the issue first begin?

    • To make sure that we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you try resetting your monitor settings, and check if the issue still persists. You may refer to your monitor on how to reset it.

    We look forward to your response.
