 Hello,

When running Diablo 3, or any game I have in fullscreen mode, when I try to move to a 2nd monitor, the game display stays on the primary monitor but the mouse moves to the 2nd monitor. I'll control the game via the 2nd monitor, the actual game being displayed on my primary monitor. If I switch it back it works as normal.

Moving monitors works fine in all games using Fullscreen Windowed mode when supported by the game. However fullscreen windowed games ignore deactivation natively and I can't "un-ignore" deactivation, so to speak, if I want to minimize the game.

Is there an alternate way to bring a fullscreen windowed game to taskbar ?

Is moving fullscreen games from one monitor to another supported?

I'm using Windows 7, Actual Multiple Monitors version 4.2

Thanks

It depends on certain game. If the hotkey moving to other monitor works, that means the game supports moving.

Unfortunately, there is no way to get it. What exactly games do natively ignore deactivation?

Best regards.

 For example, Diablo 3 will not move to 2nd monitor when in fullscreen. This is okay I can put Diablo 3 in Windowed Fullscreen, which then moves between monitors without any issue.

However in fullscreen windowed mode, the game does not minimize when you leave the game. All games I've seen when put in Fullscreen Windowed mode ignore deactivation.

The software has been awesome this isn't a huge deal to me. Perhaps I should make a feature request.

 Hello ChoWZa.

Can you minimize the game when it is in the windowed fullscreen mode with the minimize title button? And is you can, will the game stop if minimized that way?

Best regards.
