[QUOTE="Jimmysb, post: 1939950, member: 416417"] I have two screens, and the second screen is used as an extended activity when certain activities require multiple documents open, and I am referring from one document to the next. However, a lot of the time I only need a single screen, so see no point in having the second switched screen on, if I leave the setting on extended display (with the screen off), it is possible for apps to open in the second screen, and the mouse to disappear into this screen (and therefore they are unseen). Solution is to "arrange" the second screen mirrors the main screen mirror, and no issues. When the second screen is required, power it up and "stop mirroring" and I am up and running. The alternate would be to disconnect the video input, and I prefer, not to hot plug/unplug screens, or keep powering down. [/QUOTE]
