* Original Title: 8.1 is here. Multiple monitors

When I extended my 2 displays to third, my open apps are shuffle, and almost all gone from my main monitor to third.

When I choose "second screen only" after it, some of my apps stay on third monitor (despite of its turn off), and I can't see this apps on my monitor 2 and 3 (third monitor have number 1 in system)

Everything was fine prior to Windows 8.1 upgrade

(I have nVidia drivers 331.65 if it matters)

Sorry for my English: I from Russia

    Hi,

    I would suggest you to move apps where you want and check if it stays there.

    To move apps from the Windows Store around your screen, press the Windows logo key +Left Arrow or Windows logo key +Right Arrow.

    To move the Windows Store app to a different monitor, press the Windows logo key +Shift+Left Arrow or Windows logo key +Shift +Right Arrow.

    To move desktop apps to the left, center, and right on a screen and then to the next monitor, press Windows logo key +Right Arrow and Windows logo key +Shift+Left Arrow.

    For more information, refer to the link.

    **Connect a second monitor or projector**

    You may try installing latest version of nVidia drivers from the manufacturer’s website and check if it helps.

    Hope this information helps. If you have any concerns, please let us know.

    Hello.

    I tried to move apps in different way (mouse, win+shift+arrows, in restore down view), and all the same.

    I have 3 displays, which system identify as 2 3 1 (from left to right in Screen Resolution sections in Control Panel) 2 and 3 - is my main monitors, and 1 - is tv. When I extended 2&3 to 231 always all apps from 2 move to 1 (TV), and all apps from 3 move to 2.

    For one of symptoms of that issue, I have this screen (it's happened when I return from "extended view" to "second screen only view"): 

    IE in taskbar on right monitor (2) and Opera on left monitor (3), but in real no apps on left monitor and Opera on right monitor - which highlighted of mouse cursor .

    (I have latest version of nVidia drivers)

    And again sorry for my English
