  1. I lost the multiple display option on my windows


    I wanted to add multiple screens to my lap top, I connected one using the HDMI port and bought a USB to HDMI connector.

    once I installed the program that cam e with the device something went wrong and my laptop stopped detecting other monitors even the through the HDMI port. It also stopped showing the multiple screen option, instead I got a message 'your pc can't project to another screen. try reinstalling the driver or using another video card'

    I tried updating the drive but nothing happened, I also searched online and followed the instructions to uninstalled the driver under Display adapters in the control panel. and now I don't have the display adapters on my control panel any longer so can't even update it.


    any suggestion

    :)

    Hi Justin,

    Let me guide you now on how to set up multiple displays on a Windows 10 computer. You may follow the steps below to configure the correct display settings for your device.

    Here are the steps:

    • Right-click on your desktop.
    • Select Display settings, then different options will be displayed.
    • You can either choose Duplicate these displays to sync your activities from the original monitor with the second one or
      Extend these displays to be able to do multiple activities using separate displays.
    • After choosing your preferred option, click on Apply.

    Let us know if you have any further questions.

  3. No option to use Multiple Displays - Windows 10

    I have a Dell Inspiron 15 with Intel Core 15 running Windows 10 to which I need to add an external monitor. When I go into the display settings menu the only option I have is to "add a wireless monitor" there is no "Multiple Display" menu so I can't add
    my monitor! My co-worker who used to have this computer did have a wireless monitor, but I don't! How do I get the multiple display menu back?
