Hi all - so this is one I still struggle with. Have a WIndows 10 device running WIndows 365 (with Windows 11 23H2). I still cannot get the 2nd screen to work. Client versions are the latest (checked updated). Have followed instructions in the thread, but disconnecting and reconnecting the Windows 365 desktop doesn't allow it to recognise dual screen - it just duplicated and controls in the virtual Win 11 desktop are not configurable

Hi RobQ_MVP 

 

What are the dual screen settings setup on the physical device? The Windows 365 device will just pick up the settings from physical device.

    Yeah odd.. The host device is dual screen and that works OK...

    Reprovision the cloud PC and seems OK... Very odd.. Thanks though.
