Hi there
I've noticed one little problem in W8 that IMO needs to be fixed by Ms.
If you hook an external monitor to your laptop say and use the Windows + P key to switch to that display only -- fine. Also switching back again is no problem or even running on BOTH displays.
BUT if you shutdown / switch off and then unplug the external monitor -- on reboot -- your screen will after the initial startup and login will go blank. You need to plug in the external monitor again to bring the menu back to switch the display back to the primary.
There might be another way but if you only have a blank screen ??? !!!.
Cheers
