When extending the windows desktop in display properties, I assume "primary monitor" refers to the main monitor that displays the task switching window when pressing alt-tab, which is monitor #1 when clicking "identify" (right?)
I have a laptop (Lenovo T60) but always use my external monitor as my primary monitor, but I'm trying to use a dual monitor setup, extending the desktop onto the laptop display, with the laptop display being the #2 display
In display properties, when I select the #2 monitor (my external monitor), then check "extend windows desktop onto this monitor", I can then check "use this device as the primary monitor", however those settings don't keep, because after clicking "apply", the external monitor goes blank and the laptop display keeps the primary monitor status and stays #1.
How can I make the external monitor the primary display (monitor #1)?
