    can I move the taskbar now to another, non-main, screen? If not fuck off with your AI nonsense.

        I won’t use another software to enable a feature that was standart in older windows versions. My computer is fairly clean, will stay clean and is only used for gaming so it has nothing else than drivers, launchers like steam and gog and the games installed.

      Started a new job 4 months ago. First time using a windows desktop since windows 2000. Have multi screens always sucked this bad? You never know on what screen a launched window will appear.

      How can people work like this?

        That’s interesting. Windows 11 is the best multi monitor version of windows ever, in my experience. It “remembers” where apps were last used opens them there. While not perfect, I find it great that it handles more than one multiple monitor setup. I have 3 monitors at home and 2 at the office. I just plug in and they are always in the same alignment. Given how bad it was in previous versions, I’m impressed.

          I love the part where it remembers what screen an application was last launched on, even if that screen is no longer connected, so the window is completely missing with no visible way to get it back 😅

          But yes, I find multiple monitor stuff to mostly be good in Win11 I agree!

          Though it’s sorely missing a feature Win10 had that I find really, REALLY annoying. My monitors aren’t the same resolution, so when I move my mouse from one of a higher resolution to a lower one, if the mouse is near the top of the screen as it often is, it will literally get stuck on the edge of the screen, because the next screen technically has no pixels that high up 🤦‍♀️

          So I then have to move the mouse down an inch or two to get it to be allowed to move to the next screen. Incredibly infuriating, and a problem that was solved in previous versions of Windows (which would just helpfully move your mouse to the top of the neighbouring screen, as you’d intuitively want).

            When the invisible app window happens, you can use the windows key + arrow keys to move the current window around.

            Agreed about the mouse thing being infuriating. I match my display resolutions to avoid it.

            I usually move the monitors around, the move my mouse to test it, until I avoid that, as perfectly aligning then with different resolutions doesn’t work. But yeah, totally know what you’re saying.

        I have been using a multi-monitor setup for years and never had any issues. Windows will usually appear on the screen you closed them on.

          This ancient technology is long lost by now. Pictures on clay plates is not how we are used to read comments in code now.

      In Personalization > Taskbar, you have the option of which display you want the taskbar to appear on. It can be either one of your displays or all of them.
