Although the name of the next "Windows 11" and the authenticity of the leaked ISO image are suspected, there was an application to delete the DMCA in the name of Microsoft, and the reference to "Windows 11" was found in the official support document. It's becoming more and more likely to be genuine.

Under such circumstances, it is reported that "Windows 11" (the environment where the above leaked ISO is installed) has improved usability in a so-called multi-display environment with two or more monitors / displays.

Under Windows 10, when using multiple displays, if you leave it for a while and go to sleep, open programs and tabs will move to another place on the screen, and windows that were on other screens will appear. It's not uncommon to be packed into a single display.

However, Windows 11 seems to have added some new features to the display settings to reduce the stress of desktop relocation.

First, the window position when the external monitor was connected is memorized, and it is automatically restored when it is reconnected. In the current Windows 10, the window that was placed in an easy-to-see place on the external monitor can only be pushed into the main screen when disconnected, and it takes time to reconnect it by itself when reconnecting.

There is also an option to minimize the windows that were there when the external monitor was disconnected. This will fill the main screen with the suddenly moved windows, and it seems that you will not have a hard time finding the app.

In addition to the multi-display environment, the "snap function" that allows you to arrange apps by dividing the screen into up to 4 is also evolving.

In the current Windows 10, it is done by dragging the Windows key + arrow or window, but in Windows 11, when you place the cursor on the maximize button (□) of the window of the application, up to 6 types of layouts are displayed (screen resolution) It is said that it is easy to arrange three apps side by side, or one app uses the left half and two apps share the other half.

With the spread of remote work, more and more people are using a multi-display environment that connects an external monitor to a notebook PC. From the hassle of manually relocating windows if you inadvertently disconnect the cable, get buried in a pile of windows that jumped in from an external monitor and lose track of the app you're using, or reconnect your laptop that you took out. , May be released in the near future.
