  1. Win10 Game Bar lock to 2nd monitor


    I use the game bar volume controls and resource monitor on my second monitor.
    But annoying on reboot or during the launch of some games the bar keeps moving back to my primary monitor.


    Then I have to open something on my second monitor... spam windows key + G ... but no the snap-ins are locked so I have to unlock them first, then go back to spamming windows key + G, move them to my second monitor, place them again then lock them again, then go back to my game and .... oh Im dead... yay...

    There must be a away to lock it in place please?

    :)

  3. 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)

    • Under Display tab, click Identify to know which monitor is having the issue.
    • Once you have identified the monitor, select the monitor you are getting issue’s with.
    • Drag the bar to the left side if the resolution is magnified to more 100% in
      Change the size of text, apps, and other items.
