  1. Wireless Second Monitor


    Hello,



    Newbie question here:

    I have 2 laptops. When I connect to the second laptop wirelessly with the first, using the second as an additional monitor,



    Which graphics cards is the second laptop (the one being used as an external monitor) running off? Is it my first laptop or the second laptop.



    I assume the second laptop is running off its own graphics cards because the first is connecting to the second through wifi and is not physically connected? Is this assumption correct?

    Does this question even make sense?



    Thank you.

  3. Second monitor screen resolution problem

    Hi,

    For us to properly isolate the issue with your second monitor screen resolution, we would like to know the following:


    • Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue (e.g., updates, software installation)?

    • When did the issue first begin?

    • To make sure that we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you try resetting your monitor settings, and check if the issue still persists. You may refer to your monitor on how to reset it.

    We look forward to your response.

    Issues while installing a second monitor in Windows 10

    Really? I get a canned answer and nothing else? I posted that I had tried everything that I could find posted online. I did read the post that Andre suggested multiple times prior to posting this request for help. None of it helped.

    My computer does not recognize that there is a second monitor is plugged in. The small step of changing the settings so I can put stuff on the second monitor ISN'T the issue. I am not that dumb. in the device manager there is only the single monitor listed
    at one point there was a unknown device listed but my computer did not know if it was a monitor or a printer.

    There has to be someone out there that knows how to fix this

    Please Help
