Re: Dual screen
decades ago, when Windows 2k was the newest, I experimented with multiple desktops. I wanted to see if I could have applications running on one that were separate from the other. I discovered that SEAT COUNTING was behind this - you could not get the start menu to run properly on the second desktop without having multi-seat [like terminal server, basically].
Otherwise, you could run applications there if they were "aware" enough to open up on the other desktop. But it wasn't very useful because of what I just described...
I don't know how Windows 10 manages multiple desktops now [probably some 'soft' way that hides some windows and makes others visible]. In theory, though, you should be able to have one set of desktops for one monitor, and another set for another monitor. That capability has been in the NT kernel for a LONG time. NT 4 had it.
BUT... with the way they handle seat licensing, it's effectively "brittle".
