Swap main screen

I have an external monitor connected to a laptop with laptop computer as the primary monitor.  The secondary monitor is not in my line of sight, and sometimes I need to interact with this screen.  Is there a way to replace what monitor is the main with a shortcut keyboard or something?  Right click, properties, etc., etc. taking too long and I need to do frequently making even greater pain.  I tried using different utilities, but they all swap windows.  This does not work because I have often multiple windows open in the external monitor and I can never get it hit the right one.  I need to re - allocate the main monitor in both directions.

  • 'Reply' / 'Write' form is hidden behind the main screen of you bird

    Since I updated to the latest version of you bird (v.24.6) last week, I am unable to make the electronic form forward when displaying the main screen of boxes to letters.

  • Windows move to the main screen when sleeping Satellite-S50T-B

    Satellite S50T-B, Windows 8.1. Whenever my laptop sleeps, it moves all the icons and windows open on the secondary external monitor on the laptop monitor. Like a lover double screen, it's extremely annoying. I keep having to set up my work space.

    I expect that there is a bug in the video driver, which means that she sees the monitor off as a result of the command 'sleep' of the laptop as a monitor "unplugged" and it is reported to the operating system for the operating system moves all the icons and windows on the main screen, so when I turn again, they are all in the wrong place.

    Please note that the disappearance of the screen as a direct result of it being sent a sleep command should not be interpreted in any way other than the monitor to sleep as said.

    The graphics driver is old way... When can we expect an update?
    When I can see a fix for this frustrating problem?

    Hello

    If you would google for this problem, you will find a lot of discussions and information about this system.

    From my point of few this issue is linked to the State in sleep mode. There are the States of sleep mode (S0, S1, S2, S3, S4)

    S3 is generally the default standby mode, while the S4 is generally the mode of hibernation by default.
    Here all the details:

    You can use the PowerCfg command to change these settings

  • Get rid of "Star" "top apps" and categories on my main screen

    When I go on my main screen, I have a banner with the recommended items.  I see as 'best new games' how to simplify my screen?

    It is probably because the selection is currently on the App Store. If you use the remote control to drag the icon of the movies, for example, you would probably see a banner that says "Best films." The banner will display a preview/information of some app currently selected on your home screen, and there is no way to hide.

    Hello.

    I have just updated to Windows 10. The first time he start it worked fine, but now the main screen does not work. During start up I see the Lenovo logo on the main screen, after that the screen goes black. The external screen works. It seems that Windows does not detect the main screen, because the Device Manager shows only 1 screen (external)! have disconnected the external screen and I made a screenshot, then some screens are shown on the Device Manager:

    Hi spidey101.

    Thanks for responding.

    It is not an arrow icon to the bottom, the icon is an icon of the Board of Directors.

    In any case I just solved it. I don't know exactly how I did it. I restarted many times, I changed the resolution of the screen for all possible modes, I tested all dual screen modes (mirror, expand, only external,...), I started in safe mode,... In the end, I unplugged everything, I removed the battery, and now it works

  • How can I access my space girls 14 years old, on the main screen on the computer?

    How can I access my space girls 14 years old, on the main screen on the computer? So I can see what she gets up to the computer because I have no way of knowing.  She went totally bananas when I put parental controls on its site.  It has a password.  I am the administrator of computers.  Thank you

    I assume you have no access to the password for the user of your daughter.  As an administrator, you may open the control panel in Win XP and select user accounts.  The options will allow you to change or remove the password of your daughter.  Then you could sign on behalf of your daughter.
    However, who would probably trigger another outbreak of 'bananas', because your daughter will realize that you have changed or deleted her password.  This forum is not how parents react to problems of girl.  However, she is only 14, is YOUR computer and you have good reason to worry about his online activities.

  • Product key not recognized during a repair of xp pro sp2 on a genuine xp pro sp2 disk. stuck on the main screen of the product.

    After starting problems on my Toshiba satellite with xp pro sp2, I booted my xp pro sp2 disk and did a repair instead of a reinstall software.  He went through the motions, removed the sys files, copied them back and so on.  Then he asked my product key and I typed in it and it does not recognize.  It's a real bought copy of xp pro sp2.  Now, I'm stuck on the main screen of the product.  When I start the laptop on the xp disk it blue screens, the only option I have is to enter a product key in the configuration...  I have my receipt for my xp pro disk and product key for certification sticker.  Help, please!

    "XP MCE Pro? That is not normal! It would be one or the other (AFAIK). Here is an example:

    http://cdn2.ioffer.com/IMG/item/811/353/46/o_XyuQav94U1MQ0Ci.jpg

    If the hybrid you mention is the real thing, it's new to me! I know that some have described as a superset of Pro MCE, but I never used this version, so I can't tell you definitively that a COA sticker wouldn't this combo of terms...

    In addition, the term 'Enterprise Edition' implies something not legitimate. I do not think that Microsoft has never used the term marketing for Windows.

    If you had a legitimate retail version of Windows XP (any version) that is not used on another PC, you can perform a Clean Install (not a repair installation), using this key (not the key COST laptop). The only way you can use the key from your laptop COST would be if you used the correct installation CD - a generic OEM version of the corresponding XP (MCE?) version. In this way, you can perform a clean installation or a repair installation.

    Have you looked at the links I posted? What do you mean by "boot option? The instructions were to press the zero key while turning on the laptop. You are not supposed to enter the OS! The recovery partition is quite distinct.

    If your laptop does not a recovery partition, you should be able to get the correct recovery CD for this Toshiba - by Toshiba or you might need to find a reputable eBay merchant, etc.. Restoredisks.com, who has a good rating from Better Business Bureau, they probably sold too.
