I like it so far but,
I can not for the life of me set up Painter with my tablet (second screen artistPro 12" X-pen) and my first screen(24"1080p)). On my 24", I like to have Most of the selection Bars like the toolbox, color wheel, Reference image, Recent brushes, ETC, and the main drawing area on my tablet. When I try to set this up some of the bars overshoot the large screen and you cannot resize them or they disappear altogether.
I have set my displays up as I did for Win 10, Large 24" is the Main screen(No1) and the tablet is the extended display(No2).
I normally start Painter and it loads up on the large monitor, then I drag it onto my tablet then drag the toolbars and reference window onto the large monitor so I have more room to draw on the much smaller 12" Tablet.
I have Only just started to experiment with this app on windows 11 and I am sure it's just a graphic settings Problem(scaling or Resolution) so I shall persevere and post back a solution if I can.
I would like to know if anyone else has had this problem Though.
One Last thing The only thing I do not like is the Right-click menu your continually having to expand it to access more options such as delete. or are we going backward here(Using keyboard shortcuts like with WordStar under Dos).
Also, how do I upload screenshots Zip files are still too Large.
Regards all.

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to lid hinges starting to break up this laptop has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

    I've now clean installed 25H2 and used Garlin's scripts to update Secure Boot to CA 2023 and revoke the PCA 2011 certificates. It's new role is to test secure boot issues.

    Info for 2021-2026:
    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.
