Metro on an Alternate Monitor?!

by Jeremy Foster 27. March 2012 10:46

You know those sonic noise guns that you can shoot at people and they supposedly just stop in their tracks because it’s physically disorienting? I felt like I got hit with one when I ran across this little nugget.

Want to move your Metro experience from your primary monitor to another screen - say your second (or fourth) monitor or even to the projector for a show? I’ve been told that the start menu appears on the primary monitor (without resorting to the simulator). Period. But that’s not the case! *look up* *thank God*

If you press WIN + PGUP/PGDN, you can change which monitor the start menu and all Metro apps appears on. Now that’s awesome! Until now, I was resorting to the simulator for getting my icons on my second monitor or projector to show people. News must spread. Tell everyone.

You can also move Metro apps between monitors with your mouse: Just click and drag from the very top of the app and move it to the monitor you want it on (kind of like using an invisible title bar).
