Windows 11 and startup window position

I have two monitors. I also installed Windows 11 today. Under Windows 10 WD started on the monitor from which i pressed the start button. So, to have it run on monitor 2 i just started it from that start button. Today, in Windows 11 i don’t see anyway to have a start button on each monitor, so when i run it i have to start it and move it to the other monitor.

Can we have it remember which monitor it was last on?

Thanks and regards,

Jim

Here is what I have read. Windows 11 update will finally improve multi-monitor setups
Actually this question could be better answered on M$ support forums.

However, I read another article that not all features are available in the Beta pre-release. As M$ usually does the Beta is a tease and mostly doesn’t include everything promised. Remember Bill Gates and the release of ME event where it Blue Screened ? That version was supposed to have the new SQL based file system instead of NTFS. We have never gotten the faster running more efficient file system. The RC was missing several other items as well. Because of the past broken promises and the updates that break things I have no plans in installing Win11 until it is past release this fall.

Lots of its parts have been in the win 10 bleeding edge beta for sometime now. So far, WD is running fine in Win11.

I submitted a big report to MS on the failure of the taskbar to show icons on monitor 2 is now schedule for a fix “soon”.

Like all betas go… there is another new release… however this is what you won’t get…

the taskbar will not be shown across multiple monitors (will be fixed in an upcoming build)
when upgrading a device with multiple user accounts to Windows 11, Settings will fail to launch
the Microsoft Store install button might not be functional yet in “some limited scenarios”

There are some other undocumented bugs they are working on…

it looks like my laptop is too old for W11
I dont have the needed BIOS settings
its old
been meaning to update it anyway, ever since the parrot ruined keys on my keyboard (the F key hardly works and others are missing)

I didn’t know there was a parrot as an apprentice WD coder! Can we see a picture of him coding?

…windows 11 will run on older pc, just check the web/youtube :smiley:
You have to copy paste a file from windows 10 ISO to windows 11 ISO and then install from windows 11 ISO.
Maybe other methods will work too.

Just another warning about installing the beta… no one seems to have mentioned this… “And if you’re hoping to jump on the Insider Preview to sneak into Windows 11, I have bad news: Microsoft says you will need to downgrade back to Windows 10 when it fully releases the OS. If you don’t, you can’t install future builds to fix issues and add new features.”

That’s ONLY if your machine does not meet the Windows 11 requirements. If you are already in the beta (Dev preview) and you do the upgrade, then that applies.

We need to be careful of terminology…

The Windows Insider Preview has three channels - Dev, Beta and Release. Only the Dev channel has a Windows 11 release so far. The beta channel is still waiting for the first release

Correct! This blog post may help clarify the preview and standards:
