Can I configure my graphics card for my HD Graphics, N3700 to SPAN multiple monitors. That is, Windows will think that there is only 1 big monitor on a 2 monitor system.

I would like Windows 10 to think that there is only one large monitor, even though I have 2 monitors.

This way, when I maximize my Universal Windows Platform C++/CX XAML application it will be maximized to both screens.

Thanks,

Clif

Span feature is only available when using multi-monitor configuration in extended desktop or collage mode.

 

Please try loading the latest video drivers for Windows® 10

Also, please connect both monitors using straight video cables (no adapters), this will limit multi monitor functionality.

 

 

If possible please attach screen shot of the graphics Multiple Display configuration from theIntel® graphics control panel.

I tried two of Intel's latest drivers.

Firstly, I tried the driver from the link in your email--win64_154001.exe.

Secondly, I tried the latest driver from 2016--win64_154025.4464.exe.

Both drivers installed without any issues.

Both drivers allowed me to enable both monitors in extended desktop mode.

However, I was not able to find the SPAN mode in the drivers.

The Operating System still sees two distinct monitors with both drivers; therefore, when I expand my UWP C++/CX application full screen it only expands to one monitor. I can stretch the application to span both monitors, but it will not expand to both monitors.

I would like the UWP C++/CX application to expand to both monitors as if they were one.

(The Universal Windows Platform does not give me control over this programmatically.)

Thank You,

Clif

If you are a software developer, I would recommend contacting our software department and try to get more information about UWP C++/CX application.
