Hello everyone! Been awhile since posting, and, for me, it is late in the day and I am tired so hope this post makes sense.
Previous monitors and set-up: Dell 24" LCD on display port connection (early version) and my Primary monitor from ~2018 an ASUS 27" LED LCD on a DVI connection (old pc) and on an HDMI connection when I got the new PC listed below.
Current set-up: NEW Acer 31.5 VA (couldn't afford IPS) as Primary #1 monitor on Display Port 2.1: The ASUS 27" is my secondary #2 monitor on HDMI 1.4.
Had to buy a pre-built PC when my old PC "died" and best I could afford was this IBuyPower Slate Mesh: i914900F, MSI PRO B760-VC WiFi HS Bulk mobo, ASUS 4070Super 12GB, ADATA 2TB NvME SSD (Legend 800 Gold), 32GB DDR5 Apacer 4800 @5200. I replaced the PSU with a Corsair RM1000X [I have been pretty happy with it so far, runs well]
Here's the issue that's really bugging me. When turned on and both monitors on I have icons on both monitors, O.K. IN THE past when I turned off the #2 monitor(the Dell) all the icons on that monitor shifted over to the primary #1(27" ASUS), even open widows would shift; this while using the new PC with W11.
NOW when I turn off #2(the former 1 ASUS), nothing shifts over to the #1 (New Acer) primary BUT if I turn off #1 the icons/windows thereon will shift to the #2.
I work and game on a very small desk(area) and sometimes just want the #2 monitor off but need easy access to the icons thereon.
I have tried using W11 display settings to no avail, nothing I could find in the Nvidia control panel helped or seemed like it would.
Any help would be appreciated.
