If you’ve ever wondered how many monitors is too many monitors, you’re not alone. At QuoteWerks, we love multi-monitor setups. They’re productivity multipliers. They’re also chaos engines,especially when you mix office work, remote access, and Windows remembering everything a little too well.
So we built Single Monitor Mode in QuoteWerks Desktop v26 build 2.02. Here’s why.
Modern quoting is not a single-window activity. You’re juggling:
With three or four monitors, this is great. You can park Product Lookup on one screen, keep your quote grid on another, and still have room for your CRM. Power users love this layout.
But then reality happens.
You leave the office with your three-monitor workstation and remote into your PC from home. Except at home, you have one monitor. Or maybe a laptop screen. Or a tablet.
Suddenly:
Windows helpfully remembers where everything was. Which is great,until it isn’t.
We’ve all been there. You know the window exists because you can hear it. You just can’t see it.
We wanted QuoteWerks Desktop to work great with multiple monitors,and also be remote-friendly without frustration.
So we added a simple but powerful feature: Single Monitor Mode.
When enabled, QuoteWerks forces all windows to open on the same monitor as the main QuoteWerks application. No more lost dialogs. No more hunting across phantom screens.
It’s a one-click way to go from “power user multi-monitor mode” to “remote-friendly single screen mode.”
In QuoteWerks Desktop v26 build 2.02, you’ll find a new Single Monitor Mode button on the main toolbar.
You can switch modes anytime. No restart required.
Some users prefer QuoteWerks to forget window positions entirely.
If that’s you, you can disable window location memory in:Tools → My Preferences → Misc.Windows
With that setting, QuoteWerks will always open windows in default positions, and Single Monitor Mode becomes optional.
This isn’t a flashy AI feature or a major quoting engine overhaul. It’s something better: a daily annoyance eliminator.
If you spend hours a day in QuoteWerks Desktop, small friction adds up. Single Monitor Mode removes one of those friction points,especially for hybrid and remote teams.
We are actively developing both QuoteWerks Desktop and QuoteWerks Web.
QuoteWerks Desktop continues to receive updates, enhancements, and quality-of-life improvements for existing Desktop customers who rely on deep integrations and on-premise workflows.
QuoteWerks Web is our modern, cloud-based CPQ platform designed for teams that want browser-based quoting, collaboration, and simpler deployment.
Single Monitor Mode is a QuoteWerks Desktop feature. We will continue to deliver meaningful improvements across both platforms and share updates as they become available.
Single Monitor Mode is available in QuoteWerks Desktop v26 build 2.02.
You can apply the update using the QuoteWerks Update Agent or download the installer from our website.
