Success!!!

Weeks ago I said I tried to get Windows Sandbox working in Win10, and no matter what I tried I failed, because 1 and 2 screens became linked together, and things became impossible to use. Evidently, the subconscious is a powerful thing, because for some reason today I wondered what would happen if I eliminated all screens on my system except for the laptop's main screen before installing Sandbox. Found out it wasn't quite that simple, because Windows tried to keep the settings for the secondary screen, so with the secondary screen working, I had to actually go in and make the laptop's screen primary, set to mirror on other, then unplug. So, with only one primary laptop screen on the system, I installed Sandbox that way. Then plugged the secondary monitor in and for once IT WORKED! It still shows 4 more screens that don't exist on my system when I personalize display settings, but IT WORKED! I was even able to make the attached display into the primary display, with the laptop's screen to the right of it as they are on the desk. What a pain in the ass.

You know? Things like this are why I ditched computer monitors and got a 55" 4k qled tv as a monitor. Now i have 4 1080p monitors in front of me, and no slaying the various multimon dragons.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

Well, next time you go to upgrade consider it. I did spend a pretty penny, but there isn't a day that goes by where I don't feel the $1100 I dumped into my computer's "human interface" was worth it. I learned a long time ago that the part of the computer that faces me and that I touch is the most important part of the machine.

I totally agree. I just bought a 46" UHD QLED tv for my monitor, and it is incredible. And was only $500 CDN. However I still want all the screen real estate possible, so I also have a 4K 32" screen along with my 4K 17" laptop touch screen. I use these monitors for secondary work (emails, Teams meetings), so not always looking at them, just when something pops up that I need to be aware of. The biggest issue I was having was the older docking station didn't support the highest resolution on all monitors at once. Once I upgraded the docking station I am always running at max resolution.
