Windows 10: Display Scale and Layout is Greyed Out

I have just got a new laptop and am configuring my 2 additional monitors. The scale and layout settings are greyed out as shown below, not allowing me to adjust the resolution of monitor #3. I have reinstalled the graphics driver, checked for windows updates and restarted. If I manually adjust the scale, it changes the scale for all three monitors. I can change the scale and layout for the other monitors. How can I adjust these settings for monitor #3?

Scale & Layout

Hi,

Your question does not contain all the required information needed for us to help you. For us to better assist you, we'd like to ask the following information:

• Which Windows version and build are you using? Type winver in the search bar and press
  Enter to find out.
• Are you having issues changing with the scale and layout setting or you intend to change it?
• Are getting any error messages?

Meanwhile, most of the advanced display settings from previous versions of Windows are now available on the Display settings page.

• Select Start and select Settings >System>Display.
• If you want to change the size of your text and apps, use the dropdown menu under
  Scale and layout. In Windows 10, you can no longer change the text size of a specific item.
• To change your screen resolution, use the drop down menu under Resolution.
• To adjust your color calibration, search "calibrate display color" in the search box of Settings and follow the directions.
  
• If you don't see a setting you're looking for, try searching for it in the search box on the taskbar.
  

Let us know if you need further assistance.

Hi TerryFarmer2.

My name is Daniela, I am an independent consultant and I will be happy to help you today.

I hope you are very well.

To change the screen scale size with the recommended settings, follow these steps:

Open Settings.

Click on System.

Then click on Display.

In the "Scale and layout" section, use the drop-down menu and select the scale setting that suits your needs.

Once you complete the steps, you do not need to log out and log back in, but it is recommended to restart your computer to ensure that the new settings are applied correctly to the desktop and applications.
