Windows 10: Windows with 2 monitors

Discus and support Windows with 2 monitors in Windows 10 Gaming to solve the problem; I have a monitor attached to my computer. If I create a new window on either my computer screen or the attached monitor, it is created on both screens... Discussion in 'Windows 10 Gaming' started by tiago_salema, Nov 3, 2021.

  1. Windows with 2 monitors


    I have a monitor attached to my computer. If I create a new window on either my computer screen or the attached monitor, it is created on both screens instead of only on the one where it was created. It seems that both are synchronized? This is particularly annoying when changing between windows, as I want to keep one monitor with the same static window and jump between windows in the other monitor. This is what happens with Mac, which I would say is what yields a good UX.

  3. i have a problem to connect 2 monitors.

    Hi Ron,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    • What changes did you make in the BIOS? As making the changes in the BIOS is only recommended by Microsoft if done by the manufacturer.
    • How are you connecting to the 2nd monitor?
    I suggest you to follow the steps from this article below:

    Windows with 2 monitors

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds
