I've searched countless forums and tried various programs and fixes with no luck. Perhaps I will look more into this tomorrow. Only issue is that you're essentially running two machines on one set of hardware, so this might be an issue if you don't have a bunch of leg room. You just click back in the virtual machine to grab control back. Someone else will probably suggest something more elegant, but if you game in a virtual machine (say over VMWare Workstation) you can simply swap your mouse and keyboard back over to the host machine by pressing alt+ctrl. There is absolutely no reason this should not exist. It baffles me that this is not a standard feature in Windows, despite multiple monitor setups being a thing. The issue is what happens when I try to interact with anything outside of said application. I already know of programs to use to allow mouse scrolling out of full screen applications. I've also tried using a program called Actual Multiple Monitors, which has a feature that apparently allows you to disable deactivation of a window, as seen here: It is too messy and a lot of my games won't support removing of borders. I've read suggestions that said to run games in windowed mode at my native resolution. Okay, so I've been looking into this for about two hours and can't seem to find anything that will work.īasically, I want to game on one monitor in full screen mode and be able to browse on the other monitor without minimizing my full screen application.
