If enough people say this, they might listen I visitedВ (Windows 7 Feedback Form) and sent the following petition to Microsoft. Of redundant, don't ya think? If you have nothing further to contribute to the actual question, then please don't bother replying. You are basically saying the only way to get this to work in Professional is to not use Professional.

Juke, for the record, this is why you have not provided an answer.

But I will also hope that someone who knows how to read and understand the question will someday stumble on this post and provide a way to get this working in Professional. Without multi-monitor support rather than give Micro$oft another dime. More and more, I lean towards Apple as Micro$soft continues to provide zero support and considering how many times you failed to even recognize the question that was originally asked, that only further shows the incompetence of this company.

If anything, it only shows that Micro$oft, once again, has worked against their consumers through hidden deception. Or as a user, you can right-click on a desktop and select Settings to switch between single and multi monitors. We have 8 machines, and if you think that we would even consider upgrading them forВ this one minorВ feature is idiotic.

#Multimon windows 7 Patch#

There ARE programs out there that patch Windows Home to have full RDP hosting (actually, the 2008 server version, which allows multiple remote desktops). Frankly, Microsoft owes this feature to all Win7 users, but Win8 is now the new (and obviously, at the time of this writing, failed) focus of attention. The sad fact is that the Win7 FAQ - for a long time - said ALL versions of Win7 supported multiple monitors through RDP, without qualification.ДЄfter many users complained of this failing with Win7 Pro as the host, Microsoft fixed it - by changing the FAQ. No matter what settings you use on the client, you will get only a single monitor, if the host is Win7 Pro. The situation is that when Win7 Pro is the host (meaning it is the remote machine), it does NOT provide multiple monitor support.
