@fixer1234 has kindly found and linked a similar question - but that one does not have the good, working answer. Please link to this answer, which is the one which I am now using on my machine, it works!!: Here the link to an awesome answer, using AutoIt
Win 10 pro 64 bit: I have two full HD screens/monitors next to each other. They both have exactly 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution; nothing fancy.
I have searched on this site with different wordings and was surprised that nobody had asked or answered this or something similar.
Now we all know that in the title bar of each window, top right corner, we have quick buttons to maximise, to minimise or to "restore" or whatever that is called in English.
I have several programs which need to work accross both monitors and use the maxium space available. But I have not found the button or command to maximise over both screens. Sorry if this is too obvious.
I can do this manually of course: Click on restore (the middle button in the top-right window-corner) and then drag over both screens. But:
- This takes time and feels frustating and stone-age
- I never manage to drag all the way, so on the left I am always missing a few pixels, because I can not drag any further
- Most programs forget they were dragged over both screens and I have to do this again and again, every time I boot
So please tell me this little trick and you will make me muchly happy and somewhatly more productive. Thank you.
If this command does not exist in Windows 10 (hard to believe) then I am willing to install and use a tool for that purpose. It could be a MS tool, or third-party; it could be a free tool or I would pay resonable money for it. But an ideal answer would find me a setting or command within Windows.
I found this quote by a MS Volunteer Moderator re Windows 7 :
Windows no longer supports horizontal span for multiple monitors.
This capability is now integrated into the graphics device. This allows you to use 2 or more monitors as if they were 1 large monitor.
I do not have this option, since my two screens are driven by two separate graphics units (still I claim that my setup is nothing fancy). One is the screen in my notebook the other is an external portable screen by Asus connected by USB3. But for Windows 10 it should not make a difference how my screens are driven, since my extended desktop and all other features are running just fine. Just this one useful commant is missing.
