I have Mission Control on my MacOS 11.2 but not this? See screen shot.
System Preferences->Mission Control:
And, I have to say: the comment in the image you posted that the feature "Displays have Separate Spaces" had been "backported from the iPhone" is absolutely moronic. When did you use an iPhone with two displays?
See the attached screen shot. As you see the Mac monitor is showing the screen shot up in the top right corner. This is where screen shots go when I create one. I would prefer them to be placed on the large monitor. As of now I have to drag it over from the Mac monitor to the large monitor which is a pain.
I took the picture with my iPhone to show people what I see. Had to move that little white bar over to the large monitor as you see in the included screen shot. I did a screen shot and it goes to my large monitor now.
I don't on my iPhone. This subject is laptop related. I have a Mac Book Pro and an external monitor. The only issue I'm having is that on my Mac laptop screen on the far right side I have a couple folders along with a Mac SSD folder. When I try to slide/bring them over to my external monitor they won't stay there, they jump back to my Mac monitor.
As for Mission Control, I have these 4 items checked.
Automatically rearrange Spaces based on most recent use.
When switching to an app, switch to a Space with open windows for the app.
Group windows by app.
Displays have separate Spaces.
Once I went to Stack By and selected from the dropdown None, Sort By then had None as a choice. I'm now able to drag folders from my Mac screen to my big monitor and they stay there.
Only remaining issue now is how do I get my big monitor to be the default screen because when I do a screen shot the image winds up on my Mac monitor instead of my big monitor. Any ideas on this??
If you are saving the screenshots to your Desktop probably the Finder will put them on the right side, and I guess is where your internal display is. Alternatively you could create a folder on your Desktop, place it where you want, and elect to save screenshots there (Command-Shift-5, click Options and choose where to save). You could also open a window showing this folder and place it in a convenient location on the second display.
Thank you for posting the image.
Is this screenshot of part of the internal display or the big external one?
Does the placement of the two displays in System Preferences->Displays->Arrangement agree with their physical relative position (i.e. the large display to the right of the built-in)?
Are you sure that the little menu bar in System Preferences->Displays->Arrangement is on the external display?
I have just tested this on my mac, and the moment I moved the little menu bar, all the icons on the desktop moved to the external display. I did not even have to change any Finder settings.
Good. I had told you about this a few posts back, but it seems that it went unnoticed.
Glad that it is working now.
Which do you not have? The highlighted one?
You should.
I don't have the Mission Control window. Not sure what you mean by the highlighted one. What highlighted one?
That has nothing to do with Mission Control.
It has to do with Finder settings.
Click on the Desktop to make it active, then go to View and choose Sort By->None.
I don't have None. I have Name, Kind, Date Last Opened, Date Added, Date Modified, Date Created, Size, Tags
You have to uncheck "Use Stacks".
In System Preferences->Displays->Arrangement, drag the little white menubarlet over to the other display.
Nope, the screen shot still defaulted to my Mac monitor.
