    Can switch to, but not extend or duplicate to external monitor


    I have a brand new ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 8 laptop and it's connected to a brand new ThinkPad Universal USB-C Dock v2 and i'm having a strange issue.Without the dock it connects to and extends to/duplicates to my external monitor just fine.When I use the dock, it won't extend to / duplicate to my external monitor. However, i can switch back and forth between my laptop screen and my external monitor, but only one can be available at a time. At the same time, when I used the dock I was able to extend to / duplicate to a different monitor. I've updated my intel display drivers and the drivers for t

    External monitors extending issue.

    I am trying to connect 6 external monitors to my laptop running on windows 10. I am using DVI-D dual-link to HDMI cable to connect the monitors to the HDMI splitter and HDMI to HDMI cable to connect the splitter to the laptop. There
    is just one problem when I am extending the screens, the external monitors seem to duplicate themselves rather than extend. So instead of 1 to 7 for all monitors combined, all my laptop only detects 1 and 2. 1 being my laptop and 2 being all the other external
    6 monitors. That means that all the external monitors showing me the same thing as in they duplicate and not extend. Any suggestion on it can be fixed so all the external monitors become the extension of my main laptop and do not duplicate?

    2 External monitors - 1 to extend and 1 to duplicate

    Hello,

    Does anyone know of a way to connect two external monitors to a Surface Pro 4 and have one monitor be duplicating the surface screen and the other monitor extending that screen?

    Thanks for the help!

    Duplicate Display on an external monitor & a projector

    Yes, I can extend separate screens to both external monitors, and still keep the desktop on my laptop screen.

    However, I cannot duplicate the display on the two external monitors.
