Windows 11 allows users to connect multiple displays to make it easier to work. You can also configure settings to remember the window locations based on the monitor so that the next time you open an app or folder, it will open in the last position you had it. It also facilitates an option to minimize windows when a monitor gets disconnected. So that windows will be easily accessible and not cluttered with the primary display.
