Simple way to put a window on the primary monitor?

Is there a simple way to make a window on my second monitor the first monitor without turning on the second monitor? I have my TV hooked up as my second monitor and hate when I try to open a web browser and it appears on the TV (which is usually disabled) instead of my computer screen. Is it possible to easily move this window to the main screen without turning on my TV to locate the window?

Press Win P and change the settings of the computer monitor only when not to use the second monitor.

  • Two monitors - I can't change "use this device as the primary monitor" because both are grayed.

    I just put my laptop (1) and (2) monitor to use together.  I like being a primary monitor (2) would monitor the "use this device as the primary monitor' however are grayed out.  I tried several things but cannot get to work.  Any suggestions? I am on Windows 7

    Hello, Olivia,.

    It depends on how you have the monitor Setup.

    You can get this option only when you select extend monitor instead of select two copies.

    If you want to set primary and secondary monitors, you must select the Extend monitors.

  • HP Pavilion Notebook e101sp 17: best way to charge 10 Windows with the laptop HP software (post regularly update 8.1-> 10)

    My HP Pavilion 17 - e101sp Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR) came with preinstalled Windows 8.1. I later upgraded to Windows 10.

    Although I had Norton Internet Security installed since the bootups earlier, I still have some virus infections from time to time (discovered through runnin ClamAV from a Linux Debian partition, I put in place on the same computer) laptop. After the expiration of the 1 year subscription NIS (I had lost confidence in it right here...) I played around with a few other sollutions.

    In the end, I now have a Windows essentially not fixable (infected) 10. It's not scary for me because Linux is my main OS 'at home' for 15 years now. However, being the standard Windows "de facto" is it much, I still would like to have a copy of own work, installed.

    My question is, in the current scenario, as I mentioned, which of the two is the best way to have 10 Windows installed with all the goodies of HP, alongisde, my Debian Linux system? And what care I would create throughout the process?

    1 reinstall 8.1 can I leave HP recovery disks that I made at the beginning (and hope that does not erase the Linux partitions, I created afterwards - I need more than "hope" in fact, I need evidence-based knowledge on this one!). And then upgrade to Windows 10.

    2 install a Windows 10 fees (from DVD created from the .iso file downloaded from Microsoft), hoping that it activates properly with the key contained in the UEFI BIOS (I think that this 'hope' is pretty much made to knowledge database) and then get all the goodies of HP... by a simple download from the HP site?

    I think option 2 is the safest (and fastest also!) but I'd well informed comment before that I have try.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello:

    Option 1 is the only way you will get to keep the programs provided HP with your PC, and they reformat the hard drive, so you will lose everything.

    Option 2 will put a clean install of W10 on your C:\Drive and you will be able to leave everything intact, unless you format the hard drive.

    If your current installation of W10 has been successfully activated, W10 will automatically activate once you install it again once you're connected to the internet.

    To install W10 in this way, you select the "I don't have a product key option,' when you get to when Windows asks for the prouduct key.

    The only software and you will be able to install the drivers which will be available on the page of the driver and support for your laptop.

  • Is there a faster way to put an application on the device?

    Currently I use the Application Loader to put my test on the blackberry for testing application. I have to first remove the application, and then add it. It takes about 5 minutes. Is there a faster way?

  • Disappears from the main window of the activity monitor

    I'm under El Capitan 10.11.5, 15F34 build on an iMac (retina, 5K, 27 inch, mid-2015). If I open the activity monitor, I get the CPU usage, but the main window will briefly appear and disappear. If I minimize and restore, I also get it for a fraction of a second and then it seems to fall back on the dock. The history of CPU option (cmd 3) is grayed out, although I can get it as the icon in the dock.

    My question, then, is what caused this problem and how to restore to normal activity monitor?

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    Step 1

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is localized to your user account.

    Select the feedback connections* and log in as a guest. Do not use the Safari connection only 'user comments' created by 'find my Mac '.

    While signed in as a guest, you will have access to your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you use them for the first time. Do not be alarmed by this behavior; It's normal. If you need any password or other personal information in order to complete the test, save, print, or write them before you start.

    Test while signed in as a guest. Same problem?

    After testing, log on to the guest account and in your own account, disable it if you wish. The files that you created in the guest account will be automatically deleted when you log out of it.

    * Note: If you have enabled 'find my Mac' or FileVault, then you cannot activate the guest account. The login 'User comments' created by 'Find my Mac' is not the same. Create a new account to test and delete it, including his home folder, after testing.

    Step 2

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is caused by changes in the system of third party that load automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Please take this step regardless of the results of step 1.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you normally connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Error - in Windows XP the external monitor laptop becomes primary, but Explorer windows do not go to the main window.

    Original title: xp laptop lidswitch and extended mode.

    I have xp laptop. I connect external monitor and set it to the extended mode with my laptop LFP as main and external monitor as secondary. Configuration of the power for the closure of the cover option as long as "do nothing".  Open an Explorer window and drag extended display. Then close the cover. The external monitor becomes primary, but the Explorer windows do not go to the main window. They are always extend on even though the extended mode is it more. Is this a known problem with XP? Anyone know? Thanks for your help...

  • PS anchored to an additional monitor not opening not in the primary monitor

    So hope that someone can help do.

    I am running CS5 on a laptop with Win7 (my desktop system had a motherboard failure) that is connected to a 23 "monitor. For some reason, Illustrator and other parts of CS5 Design Standard seem if open fine on the 'main menu' designated, but Photoshop does not work. Maybe it's that I didn't actually * used * the other parts of CS5 on my laptop. PS would have some 'I'm doing this because I have always done this way' parameter it won't let go? I can just drag it to my main screen (I can, but that is uuuugly which defeats the purpose of the use of the giant screen).

    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    KC

    I try that, but given that this aspect of the work in PS is new to me, it's possible that I did it incorrectly. Had a similar "glitch" today when I decided to change my preferences to take my previous settings on the old system. I thought that my system has hung up when instead, it was just a matter of the dialog box Preferences hanging out on the laptop monitor. After realizing what was up, I changed the setting I wanted and closed the dialog box. The next time I open it, it opens on the main screen. Go figure.

    Well, an easy solution which is fine with me - I just put everything to work on the 23 "monitor only rather than both in use. I don't really need (that I know of) to be able to extend the monitors. I was trying to and thinking that it might be useful. Down the line, I may find it does, but now I'm going to stay with what works best for my way of neurotransmitter of work and limited. In addition, by limiting my work area for the monitors, my compressed area is used for the entire screen of the larger screen area. Much easier for to keep me track of cursor.

    How the hell "old.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    You want to display on both monitors to be same?

    When you drag and drop an element from one monitor to the other, it will not be placed at the same position as the first monitor. If the element should be placed at the same position as in the other monitor, you will have to do it manually by dragging it to the location.

  • Is there a way to put a button on the front panel only when clicked gives a pop-up dialog box with more information on it?

    Hello world

    The simulations that I create are very simple themselves but are intended to use in the classroom to help students learn more about the proven theory.  I hope to be able to place a 'help' or 'other info' button on the front panel that rises wants more info on theory, they can click on it and a pop up appears with background information on it.  It should also have a second button to close it and return to the main façade.  Can anyone lead me in the right direction?

    Thank you!

    Use a structure of the event on the main vi when the button is clicked, launches a "help" void / vi. On the inside of the Sub vi (with the set properties to load the front when it is called, of course), use another structure of the event to wait until then click on the button of the Subvi, you can return to the main VI. Do you need assistance on using the structures of the event?

  • Is there a simple way to put Google in a new tab or OTHERWISE I'LL UNINSTALL FIREFOX despite I've used for years

    I don't mind a reason any set yahoo as search engine. However Firefox should give me one of the Dwarfs users a solution to ease back to Google. I have followed the discussion threads but still find the yahoo xxxxxxx in each new tab, I asked.

    For completeness, if someone stumbles across this thread in a search:

    Here's how you can change your new tab page:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter/return. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter your favorite page:

    • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
    • Blank tab = > subject: empty
    • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
    • Any other page = > full URL of the page

    Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?

    If the problems persist, some potential diagnoses and remedies:

    If Firefox will not let you change this setting: you can have what is called SearchProtect on your system. This must be removed the control panel. If the status is 'locked' we'll need to help you investigate a configuration file "automatic".

    Firefox if allows you to save your changes, but he doesn't know: one of your extensions may be the substitution of her. You can consult, disable and/or remove extensions on page modules. Either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a (Mac: command + shift + a)
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, take a critical look on the list on the right and turn off (or remove) something unknown.

    If the modification works during your session, but during the next startup is return to the unwanted page: you could have a user.js file in your personal settings Firefox (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and delete the file: How to fix preferences that will not save.
