Presenter View Powerpoint

[Skylark56]

So we have recently started testing with some staff laptops with docks at our secondary school and have noticed one glaring issue that I can't for the life of me seem to get around the issue of Presenter View on Powerpoint.

 

So our laptops plug into Power/Display over a Type C dock into a singular external monitor and then a projector. So the setup we have is the laptop is duplicated with the projector/interactive whiteboard and the external monitor is independent (so staff can work whilst work is being displayed). However through Powerpoint when we launch it, shows Presenter View as unticked, when enabled it works but then when you shut Powerpoint and relaunch it, it will show as unticked again and no method we have tested seems to get it to enable.

 

We have tried different users, and that came up with nothing, as they have the same issue, I've tried changing the UseMonMgr to 1 in the registry (it was already set to 1, but unticked....). Is this just a bug in Windows 11 with Office 365 or has anybody else come across this issue?

We had the same issues.... We resulted, in removing the monitors.
