My Windows 11 installation does not disable the secondary screen when I turn it off. Windows remain open on the secondary screen while its turned off (in standby mode). Screen settings show the screen as connected, even when its turned off.
I am used to the behaviour that windows detects the turned off screen as disconnected and switches to single screen mode automatically.
I do not want to:
- disconnect any cable.
- disable/reenable the second screen manually, i.e. via screen settings or via [WIN] + P shortcut.
I want Windows to handle the screen connect/disconnect automatically. I want to be able to randomly turn on/off the second screen and I want Windows to use it only when it is turned on. When turned off, the windows that are open on the second screen should be moved to the primary screen, and when I open a new window, it should only ever be opened on the primary screen.
Is there some way to enable this desired behaviour in Windows 11?
I'm really annoyed about this changed behaviour. This did not appear before switching from windows 10 to 11 on the same hardware. Nothing has changed but the OS: same graphics card (NVIDIA Geforce GTX 960) and same screens. (2x Dell U2515H, 1. with Displayport, 2. with HDMI)
