Windows 10: display setups

I have a laptop that I take back and forth to the office and home. I have a multi monitor setup at the office and I have a multi monitor setup at home. When I boot the laptop at each location, the layouts change on the desktops. How can I setup windows so when I connect at work I tell it to use one monitor layout and when at home i use another monitor layout so I don't have to continually start my day with rearranging my windows and desktop.

Double Monitor Setup is not connecting

Hi Yuri,

To setup dual monitors, I suggest you to press Windows + P keys
and select Extend or the required option and check for status. If you are still unable to setup dual monitor, suggest you to update the Display Adapter driver by following the steps provided below and check for status.

• Press Windows key + X and select Device Manager.
• Expand Display Adapters.
• Right click on the driver and select Update Driver Software.
• Follow the on-screen prompts to update the driver.

Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.
