    Display 2 not showing


    I have an issues (literally yesterday 2/11/2019) one of my monitors stops showing up


    I have Surface Pro and a dock.


    -If I plug in one monitor at a time they both work and will extend screen.

    -If I plug in two monitors one of them will not display anything. In the 'Display' window it detects the second and third monitors but one is greyed out and is 'Not Ative' and will not let me reconnect.

    -I have also tried using a second Surface Hub and the effect is the same - so as thescreen are working independently, the hub is working I guess it must be windows


    Any ideas? Display 2 not showing d9d1b7ea-4148-49f7-a41c-350c704d1cb4?upload=true.png Display 2 not showing 4275b629-8ffc-4b3b-9cbe-763d345c4df4?upload=true.png

  2. Display driver not supporting and device manager not showing Display adapter option

    Hi Maheen,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    This issue could have occurred due to these reasons:

    • Incorrect settings.
    • Corrupt or outdated display driver.
    Try the steps listed here and check if it helps:

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to download and install all the available Windows Updates including Optional Updates. Check if it helps.

    Method 2:

    If the issue persists, i suggest you to uninstall and re-install latest display driver from the computer manufacturer website and check if it helps.

    Step 1: Uninstall display driver.

    • Right-click on the Start Button and click on
      Device manager.
    • Double-click on Display Adapters to expand.
    • Right-click on the display adapter driver that is listed and select properties.
    • In the window opened, click on drivers tab.
    • In the drivers tab, Click on Uninstall option.
    Now restart your computer and check, if the problem persists try step 2.

    Step 2:

    4870x2 won't display at 1680x1050 at all!

    OK. Now I know what ur problem is. Step by step:
    1. Go to Catalyst Control Center
    2. Click on the word "Graphic" right on top left corner. It will display drop down menu
    3. Click on Display monitor and will see the list of monitor at near bottom
    4. Right Click the monitor and select "Configure". It will show up the window
    5. There will be 3 option to select. Select the middle one and then click on the tab which show the bar with 15%.
    6. Drag the bar to max, and the screen will stretch to the native resolution 1680x1050.
    7. Also click the tab with showing RGB drop down list and select the last one (it will change to image quality for pc).
    That's it. Good Luck.

    Display 2 not showing

    Display 1 not swappable with Display 2. Why?

    Hi Raven,

    You can choose from the list of monitors, which screen you want to make as your main display. To do so, please follow the steps below:

    • Right-click on your desktop, then select Display settings.
    • Under Customize your display, select which screen you want to make as the main display.
    • Check Make this my main display, then click Apply.
