Microsoft fixes long-standing multi-monitor limitation

Impact on user workflows & gaming / performance

The update also improves performance in multi-monitor setups, especially when the monitors have different refresh rates.For users who often span windows, drag content across screens, or use secondary displays for tools/notifications, this is a meaningful usability upgrade. It addresses a criticism that Windows 11 didn’t fully match the flexibility users had become accustomed to in Windows 10.

 


Rollout schedule & limitations

The feature is in staged rollout now, with broader availability expected in the October monthly update (around October 14), unless held up by last-minute issues.However, not all “classic” taskbar customizations are back: for example, repositioning the taskbar to the top or sides is still locked to the bottom in Windows 11.So while this is a solid improvement, some constraints remain.

Broader context & stock update

This improvement is part of Microsoft’s incremental strategy to gradually re-add or refine features in Windows 11, in response to user feedback.As for Microsoft’s stock (MSFT), here is its current status:
