Introduction
There are several ways to move your task manager to another monitor. You can use the functionality of the built-in window, or you can use a third-party tool.
If you want to use the functionality of the built-in window, you can go to the Task Manager settings and change the ‘Location’ setting. This will allow you to choose which monitor you want the task manager to appear on.
If you want to use a third-party tool, a few options are available. One option is Taskbar Eliminator, a free tool that allows you to remove the taskbar from any monitor. Another option is Taskbar Simulator, which is a paid tool that allows you to simulate multiple taskbars on one monitor.
Reasons for wanting to move your task manager
You might want to move your task manager to another monitor for many reasons. Maybe your primary monitor is getting cluttered, or you want to dedicate one screen to tracking your progress on a specific project. Whatever the reason, it’s easy to do with a few simple steps.
Here’s how to move your task manager to another monitor:
- Right-click on the taskbar and select “Task Manager.”
- Click “More details” if necessary.
- Click the “Settings” button in the upper-right corner of the Task Manager window.
- In the “Display” tab, select the monitor you want to use from the drop-down menu next to “Show Task Manager on:”
- Click “OK” to save your changes and close the Settings dialog box.
How to move your task manager
If you want to move your task manager to another monitor, you can do so by opening the Task Manager. Once the Task Manager is open, you will need to click on the “Options” button and then select the “Move to another monitor” option. This will allow you to move the Task Manager to another monitor.
Windows 10
If you’re a long-time Windows user, you’ve probably grown accustomed to the default task manager. But if you’re new to the platform, or if you just want to try something different, there are plenty of other options available.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to move your task manager from the default location in Windows 10. We’ll also provide a few tips on how to use the task manager to its full potential.
To get started, open the Start menu and type “task manager” into the search bar. This will bring up the Task Manager shortcut. Right-click on this shortcut and select “Properties.”
In the Properties window, click on the Shortcut tab. In the “Target” field, delete everything after “.exe.” For example, if your target is currently “C:\Windows\System32\taskmgr.exe,” delete “\System32\taskmgr.exe” so that your target is only “C:\Windows\Taskmgr.exe.”
Click “OK” to save your changes and close the window. You should now be able to launch the task manager by double-clicking on its shortcut from your desktop or from the Start menu.
Windows 7
- On your keyboard, press the Windows key, then type taskbar.
- Click on Taskbar and Navigation.
- Under Taskbar location on screen, select where you want your taskbar.
- If you want to move your taskbar to another monitor, select that monitor from the drop-down menu under Multiple displays.
