  1. Dell monitor keeps signing itself in


    My new Dell computer (using a Dell monitor) goes from visible to mouse-type without warning. I went to Device Manager and expanded the Monitor tab. I found three generic PnP monitors listed. Upon advice, I uninstalled them and rebooted. The result was just what I wanted: large, visible picture with readable type.

    But it didn't last. Soon, I encountered the same shrunken image with everything made small. So I repeated, and shortly after rebooting to a satisfactory result, the relapse occurred.

    I did this several times before visiting the Dell site, where I downloaded the driver for my monitor. I installed it and found it at the top of the list in Device Manager -- with two zombie generic PnP monitors just below. Instead of uninstalling these again, I tried disabling them. It worked for only a short time. Arrghh. So here I am, squinting to read what I'm typing and hoping someone can come up with a permanent solution. I'm counting on you folks!

    Thanks in advance.

  2. Dell XPS 15.6 Monitor issues

    Hi,

    Monitors may not work as expected if the driver is not up-to-date. With this said, we suggest that you check if you have the latest drivers installed. In addition, we would like to ask some questions that may help us to isolate the issue.

    • Does the external monitor work with your laptop before?
    • Have you tried to connect the external monitor to your desktop?
    • When did the issue start?
    • Were there any changes made to your computer prior to the issue?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
    We're looking forward to your response.

    Dell Monitor Touch Screen MOnitir & Windows 10

    Since installing Windows 10, I cannot enable the touchscreen on my Dell S2240T monitor. The pen/touch option is not showing in hardware/sound nor can I find it under the HID list either. Any Suggestions?

    Setting Up 3 Monitors on a Dell

    Hi pmuldoon,

    Thank you for posting your concern on Microsoft Community Forums.

    You need to have a Port replicator depending on the model. Because some monitors supports 3 monitors and some needs to have port replicator to connect 3 monitors. However, I suggest you to follow the below steps, and check if that
    helps.

    Method 1: Update drivers in Windows 10

    I also suggest you to update the drivers, follow this article on

    Update drivers in Windows 10
    , and check if that helps.

    Method 2: Follow the Dell article on Multiple monitors.

    I suggest you to follow the Dell article on Multiple monitors, follow the article on

    How to Setup Multiple Monitors in Microsoft Windows 10
    , and let us know the results. You can also refer the article on configuring 3 displays, follow this article on

    How to configure three (3) displays on a Dell Latitude Notebook with Intel HD 4x00 Graphics


    We await your response.

    Regards,
