Customization :: Window Focus Changes When Working On Multiple Monitors
Dec 31, 2015I'm having some problems after my Windows upgrade from 7 to 10...
Basically, I'm working on a multiple monitor system. When I move my mouse around the screen, windows changes the focus from the window that I'm working in (a spreadsheet for example), and starts entering data in any window i mouse-over.
I found a partial solution in the following thread.....but this only disables the window popping-up (the focus still changes).

View 1 RepliesApp Launch Location When Using Multiple Monitors?
Oct 15, 2015I use multiple monitors while at work (As I assume most people do now). One quirk I have seen on Windows 8/8.1 and now Windows 10 is how the start menu launches applications. Now that Windows has start menu access on all monitors is there a way to force the apps to launch on the monitor they are being launched from? For example, I use the start menu on Monitor 3 I would expect the app to launch on Monitor 3 not Monitor 1.
View 1 RepliesGraphic Cards :: DPI Scaling With Multiple Monitors
Jan 4, 2016I have a Lenovo T450s as my primary machine issued to me at work. It has an Intel Integrated Graphics Card and a 1920 X 1080 screen. I have two additional monitors, a 28 inch 4K Samsung, and a 24 inch 1080p Samsung. I have the following DPI settings.
Laptop Monitor - 100%
4K Monitor - 150% (anything lower and it is completely unusable, everything is super tiny)
24 inch 1080 - 100%
If I set my Laptop screen as my primary screen the laptop screen and the 24 inch 1080 monitor look share, but most apps look fuzzy, sometimes somewhat noticeable, other times it is very noticeable when moved to the 4K monitor with DPI scaling set at 150%.
The opposite happens if I set the 4k monitor as the primary monitor and restart. Then the 4K monitor looks very sharp and clear. However then the laptop screen and 24 inch 1080 monitor look fuzzy and blurry.
Visual Studio 2013, SSMS 2014, Chrome are the application that are bothering me the most right now. There are a small number of apps like Edge that seem to work fine regardless of whatever the DPI settings are.
I was excited to see Windows 10 added per monitor DPI scaling and claimed to fix the issues with DPI scaling on Windows 8 when having multiple monitors of different pixel densities. However from what I've seen they really haven't fixed much.
Apps :: Finding Utilities For Multiple Monitors?
Jan 27, 2016In my home theatre I have a Win 10 Pro PC , set up for Extended Display set up for:
- a large 4k TV (the default), with high res settings (Monitor 2)
- a small legacy 17" display, low-res settings (Monitor 1)
The large screen is the default screen, as that's what I need to be displayed when watching media, and controlling things via a wireless keyboard on the couch.
The purpose of the small display is simply so that I don't have to have to keep the large display on when:
-doing minor config/setup work
-listening to music via iTunes
-viewing the 'current' song being played on my digital cable box
-etc
It's more or less working well, but THE ISSUE IS THIS:
When working when both displays are on, and the active window in on the large display, I can select it and drag it over to the small display to work with. But when the large display is powered off, I am blind ; all I see is the task bar and whatever I launch goes , of course, goes to the default display.
-Is there any tool or utility I can use to virtually see the open window on the active monitor and so I can drag it over?
-Is there any tool or utility , like TeamViewer has, where there is a top level menu "Next Monitor" to manage the screens.
Ironically, when I do use Team Viewer from another room, its perfect as I can flip between monitors at will (as I am starting on the 'default' screen). But when I am in front the physical machine, in front of the small monitor, I dont have that option.
What I kinda need is the multiple monitor option of Duplicated displays, but that does not work because of the different resolutions.
I can use Show Desktop Only on 1, as I cant get there ( ie a right click will always show up on the large screen only as is the default.
I need to power up the large display, drag the window (eg iTunes) to the smaller display, and then turn off the large TV.
Controlling When Application Is Displayed Using Multiple Monitors?
Oct 2, 2015I am running Widows 10 Pro, 64-bit with 3 monitors using an Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 Ti graphics card and have an Intel 7i-4930K CPU with 32 gig of RAM. For the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties I have it configured so that it shows all taskbars on all displays.
The behavior that currently exists is that if I launch an application from any monitor it opens on the one it was last open on. For example, if I have Notepad open on monitor 3, close it, launch the application from monitor 1 it actually opens on monitor 3.
The behavior I would like is for the application to open on the monitor I launch it from. For example, if I have Notepad open on monitor 3, close it, launch the application on monitor 1 it is displayed on monitor 1. It would be wonderful if I could launch Notepad on monitor 1 and have it display there, launch Notepad on monitor 2 and have it display there and finally launch Notepad on monitor 3 and have it display there.
Is this possible and/or a setting I just am not aware of in Windows 10? Granted, Notepad is not the most exciting application but it was just an example.
Tablet Mode Is Disabled When Multiple Monitors Are Being Used

Multiple Monitors And Can't View Files But See Them In Task Bar
Aug 14, 2015I've recently updated from windows 7 to 10. I went to set up my dual monitors (I have 1 to my left) for some reason the monitor to my lefts identity is 3 center is Number 2. I can't seem to change this to 1 and 2
Next issue I can open a file and I can see it in my task-bar on the bottom but it won't open up on either monitor (# 2 or 3) It appears to be opened perhaps on a monitor to my right that does not exist (# 1 perhaps) I can slide some files over to my left (#3) and every now and then a file from my task-bar opens on my main monitor.

Sep 4, 2015So I only recently upgraded to Windows 10, and I'm a bit of a wallpaper nut, so I immediately noticed that my wallpapers have been simply scrolling through the images set in my folder, instead of shuffling through them. I know Windows 7 had the ability to shuffle the images, did they take that away? Is there any way to get them to shuffle?

Customization :: Using Screen Saver With Two Monitors
Sep 9, 2015My setup uses two monitors. I am running a screen saver (a very old one by Firehand which works fine) but I can't get it to work the way I want with the two screens. At present when it kicks in, the displayed image alternates between the two monitors. One displays the new image and the previous one on the other monitor goes to blank screen and so on.
I am sure that when I used it with Windows 8.1 it worked as I want - each image remains on screen until it is replaced. i.e. I have the current image on one monitor the and past image on the other, then it switches and a new image appears on a monitor with the previous image remaining on the other one.
A possibly related issue is that although I have the desktop image set to change every few minutes it doesn't do so and I have a different image on each monitor (which is fine). But why won't they change?

Customization :: Dual Monitors - Synchronizing Slideshow
Aug 8, 2015Upgraded to Win 10 (from Win 7) on Friday, very impressed. The only problem I'm having is that I have two monitors operating in dual mode and previously used to run a slideshow as the background and the same photo was shown on both monitors.

I've updated graphic card drivers etc and been through all setting I can think of, but just cannot synchronize things.

Nov 17, 2015When making a slideshow in Windows 10 for the lock screen and the desktop background can you select individual images from folders instead of selecting an entire folder? Win 7 could do this and i used it and liked it a lot.

View 1 RepliesCustomization :: Change Start Menu Location Based On Number Of Monitors
Dec 17, 2015I have two desktops (work and home) with more than one screen, on these computers, I would like my start menu on the far right side of the right screen.
However, on computers with only screen (my laptop), I would like my start menu along the bottom.
Is there any way to set up an IF statement that places the start menu in a location based on the number of screens or, worst case, stop that property from updating across computers?
