 I have the latest version 8.0.1 installed with my 17.4 laptop being the primary and 2-32" 1920x1080 screens as secondaries.  When you hit the "Start" key or button on either screen, the Windows 8 Start screen doesn't fill the entire screen.  Is this a bug?

 Good day Giovanni,

Try going to Multiple Monitors-Taskbar and in "Multi-Monitor Taskbar and Task Switcher" section uncheck the "Show Start in full-screen mode"

 Alex,

Actually checking the box "Show Start in full-screen mode" fixed the issue.  Thanks!  BTW, how do you get an app that is opened from one of the secondary monitors to open on that monitor?  They all seem to open on the primary screen and I have to drag them to the secondary screen.

 Giovanni,

Make a special rule for the certain app and select a "Move to monitor" action,where you need to specify to which monitor you want app to be moved, at "Startup" trigger
OR you can change a defaul rule to make ALL apps to move to the secondary monitor in the same way as I stated above.

Any questions?Mail to support@actualtools.com!
