The relative physical monitor position, size, on/off states, as well as color depth and refresh frequency are not controlled from within VDM and can be accomplished via a standard Windows applet for monitor configuration (usually available for local environments only). Once VDM configuration screen is loaded, current user Desktop is displayed.ĭepending on the number of physical monitors, Virtual Display Manager will display a scaled down overview of physical monitor configurations at the top of the window. Maximizing a window while pressing the Key results in a window maximized across the adjacent Physical Monitor. Otherwise windows can be moved and maximized to desired Virtual Displays manually as if they are controlled by geometry of a physical monitor. A right-click on the icon provides access to VDM features, while a double-click loads the VDM Navigation applet that can simplify movement of selected windows to and from desired Virtual Displays at a click of a button. Only window scaling related to the changes with the desktop size is activated.įor quick access to VDM configuration features there is a System Tray icon that is loaded with VDM. Unless VDM is configured, there is no change to monitor partitioning into Virtual Displays. This is where Virtual Displays can be defined and enabled. Once installation is complete, a VDM Configuration Screen is loaded. Since any user specific settings are stored within the user’s profile, no user specific configuration files are required. Virtual Display Manager can be launched manually or started from the startup folder.

Please note that VDM is supported on Windows 10/11 and Windows Server 2012/2012R2, 2016, 20.
