Windows 10: Disabled 3rd Monitor Windows 10

I installed a 3rd monitor connected to the 3rd port in my video card in my HP desktop. Win 10 sees the 3rd monitor but will not allow me to change the disabled. If I disconnect one of the first 2 monitors, the new 3rd monitor becomes active. So, all of the connections, ports and monitors are compatible, good and working. Somewhere Win 10 is restricting me to 2 monitors at a time and I need to change that but haven’t been able to determine how. Video card drivers have been updated and are current.

3rd monitor doesn't connect

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

To better understand your query, kindly reply to the following questions.

1. Did you try setting up the cables again?

2. Did you try giving the recommended resolution and check if the monitor is detected?

I would suggest you to make sure that the monitors are connected to the correct video port.

However, you can go to the device manager and disable the monitor which is not working.

Follow the steps below.

• Press Windows key + X key and click on
  Device Manager.
• Expand the Monitors.
• Right-click on the monitor and select Disable.
• After sometime, try re-enabling it and check if the device gets detected.

Hope this helps. Please respond if you have further related queries.

Regards,

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
