    I want one of my monitors act like the laptop monitor

    I have connected two monitors to my laptop:

    Does laptop act like a monitor? Vd9vA.png

    Monitor 1: Laptop monitor.

    Monitor 2: External monitor connected through VGA port.

    Monitor 3: External monitor connected through HDMI port.

    I want to completely disable my laptop monitor, and let Monitor 2 act like the built-in display. So, when I switch between "Second screen only" and "Extend" options, I get either Monitors 2 and 3 both, or only Monitor 3.

    I am able to disable my laptop monitor by selecting "disconnect this display"

    However, now, I cannot use "Extend" and "Second screen only" options properly. When I select "Second screen only," the display is extended to Monitors 2 and 3.
    When I select "PC screen only," it enables Monitor 1, and disables Monitors 2 and 3.

    What I want is, "Extend" should show extended display to Monitors 2 and 3, and "Second screen only" should show only Monitor 3.

    This way, I will not go to settings and disable Monitor 2 whenever I want to use only Monitor 3.

    To sum up, I would like to have only two displays.

    Second screen only: Only Monitor 2.

    Extended display: Monitors 2 and 3.

    Is there any way to do it?

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds

  4. Does laptop act like a monitor?

    Laptop suddenly stopped recognizing the external monitor

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    To assist you better, I would like to ask if the laptop is unable to recognize only the external monitor or other external devices also.

    I suggest you to run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter by following the steps below:

    • Click on the Start button, and type “Troubleshooting” on the search bar.
    • Click on “Hardware and Devices”.
    • A pop-up will appear, click on the “Next” button and your hardware troubleshooting will start.

    Hope the information is helpful. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.
