Windows 10: Win11 - MANY Desktops, ONE Monitor

Some may not be aware of this outstanding ability in Windows. It is strongly recommended it be discovered and used. Few realise: Windows lets you create an infinite number of desktops—each uniquely named, designated, and designed for a particular specific task. Also, means not having everything in ONE Edge window, in ONE desktop. AND open windows or apps do not need to be closed in one desktop if & when moving to another, all, still, there upon returning to that desktop.Using Multiple Named Desktops with Unique BackgroundsCreate Multiple DesktopsPress Win + Tab to open Task View.Clic

Trouble with 2 monitors

Hi Tim,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to change the settings to Extended Monitor and check if it helps.

Please follow below steps:

• Right Click any ware of the Desktop, and launch Personalization.
• Go to dual monitor settings under personalization, and change it Extended Monitor.

Please get back to us for future support, we’ll be glad to assist you further.



Thank you.

 

Snip & Sketch - saving to Desktop sometimes works and sometimes does Not work (Win11)

On Win11 Snip & Sketch sometimes copies from the clipboard to the desktop and sometimes does Not

copy to the Desktop. The failed copies are listed in the recent action list, but when accessed Win11 gives

the error that "file has been moved"....

So I went into Settings to check that "Autocopy to Clipboard" was On

I noticed that there was also a setting for "Save Snips" which gives a confirmation

box when doing a save - so I set this to On

Somehow confirming the save seems to have fixed the problem, adding a step is a drag, but

at least now snip & sketch has been working every time

 

win11 capability

thanks i figure win10 and win 11 would have all the security but a non approved win11 machine could still be venerable. i will get one that is win11 approved even if i do not run win11 until i have to and by then maybe they will leave the desktop alone or let you go back to the win10 desktop. it kind of looks like i may go with a micro pc that is win11 ready and just get a monitor and keypad and mouse and be done with it. so is there a list of good micro or mini pcs that will fit this will requirements? maybe a website that show them. i do see some on ebay but i do not know what is a win11 unit. thanks
