    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

  3. 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.

    Shortcuts for programs in second taskbar of the second monitor

    Thank you for your help, but this is absolutely not the answer to the question I asked. It feels like we're talking about different things.
    I do not need to move windows from one monitor to another. I have several launched programs on first monitor and I have several launched programs on the second one. I can switch between the programs on first monitor using Win + 1, 2, 3, etc. shortcut, but I can't do the same with programs launched on the second monitor because I don't know is there any shortcut for programs displayed on the second taskbar...
