Forums -> UltraMon™ -> UM 2.70 and Remote Desktop... Losing Applications

When I log into my desktop via RDP i lose my access to my other 2 monitors (this is known limitation to the RDP buffer) but, any apps on those screens are lost...

i.e... theres no way to see them when I'm remoted in and for the life of me I cant seem to figure out how to use the "move to primary monitor" shortcut to make them usable/visible

is there a way to force all open windows to the primary enabled monitor???

I'm not sure what would cause this, Windows should move all applications to the primary monitor when you connect remotely, UltraMon doesn't get involved with this.

If you want to use a hotkey with an offscreen application, you'll need to give it the focus first, for example by clicking on its task button or via ALT+TAB, then press the hotkey.

i tried that... but its as if the applications goto the grave with the disabling of the other two monitors... when i get home and log in (from the locked desktop) the other two monitors kick on and my programs are right there

One other thing you could try is to move the applications back to the visible desktop manually.

To do this, first give the application the focus as described above, then press ALT+SPACE (this brings up the application's window/system menu), then press M, then use the arrow keys to move the window.

If the application is maximized, you'll need to press R before M to restore it to normal size so that it can be moved.
