    This is not a normal 2 computers to 1 monitor scenario.I have 2 computers, 1 running Win11 and the other on Win10.What I want to do is have the Win11 device extend an image to the monitorscreen 2 and have the Win10 device running Zoom share that image from the monitor.Is this possible as using KVM's and swapping monitor sources would prevent the Win10 device seeing the Win11 image?Hope this makes sense.Dave

    How to list 2 monitors as 1 connected to 1 PC?

    So, I'm using this program called aster which lets you turn your one computer into 2. For some reason this program doesn't allow you to have 2 monitors on one workplace. Is there a way to list 2 monitors as 1?

    OS: Windows 10

    Processor: 64 bit

    Change monitor 2 to monitor 1 and make it stay.

    I did as you suggested, but the problem was not resolved. Windows detects the monitors just fine, but I need to switch monitor 2 to be numbered monitor 1. The main diplay has not effect, as once monitor 1 is turned on monitor two looses display.

    external monitors: 1 of 2 not working after last windows update

    Last week I updated windows on my laptop while traveling for business. When I got home one of my external monitors that have been working for years isn't. the one that isn't is a serial monitor with a USB-2 adaptor. The working one has an HDMI connector.
    I have downloaded and installed the latest (9/19) update for Display Link. But when I open the video manager it only recognizes one monitor. My Device manager is showing two PNP monitors working and the drivers are up to date.

    Display Link Forum suggests this, but I haven't gone there yet as it clearly appears to be a windows issue.

    If you find you are having issues after installing or upgrading DisplayLink software, or your Windows installation, please follow these steps to re-install DisplayLink software

    1. Disconnect your device. If your device uses a power adapter, disconnect it too.
    2. Uninstall DisplayLink software from Windows Control Panel.
    3. Download
      DisplayLink End User Windows Cleaner       tool and run it.
    4. Reboot your computer.
    5. Download the latest
      DisplayLink Windows software       and install it.
    6. Reconnect your device when asked by the installer.
    7. Reboot your computer.

    Any thoughts?
