Windows 10: Display Settings: Stuck on "show only on 2"

Hey guys what is up dj diego back with another question haha lololoMy issue is with a Windows 10 VM running from Amazon Workspace. The setup is two monitors: one laptop and one normal display. Currently it's set to "show only on 2" in System > DisplayHowever, I want to set it to "Extend these displays".The problem arises when trying to change it to any other option on the dropdown menu. After confirming changes, it instantly changes back to "show only on 2".This issue only started happening when I got the laptop.
