Windows 10: Dual Monitor Display

I just recently got a PC and 2 monitors for my office.


I have the PC and one monitor hooked together because there was only one HDMI plug. I ordered a dual HDMI splitter so that I could connect too both screens at the same time. However, I want the screens to be connected so that I can drag something from one screen to the other but my screens are connect and have the same display on both. How can I fix this?


I went into setting to detect monitors and only one monitor comes up, I don't know how to resolve this. Can anyone help?

Dual monitors

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are unable to use Dual monitors on the computer after updating Radeon software. I’ll certainly assist you with the issue.



However, please let us know:

• Do you see the second monitor detected when you go to Display Settings?
  
• Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? Refer
  Which version of Windows operating system am I running?
  
• What is the Make and model of the computer?
  

If you do not see the second monitor in Display Settings, I would suggest you to click on Detect and see if the second monitor gets detected.



Since you are facing this issue after updating the Radeon software, you may want to try rolling back the driver and see if that helps.



To do this, refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + X, and select Device Manager.
2. Expand Display adapters.
3. Right click on the Radeon Driver and select Properties.
4. Navigate to the Driver tab and click on Roll Back Driver.
5. Restart the computer if prompted.

Let us know the results. If the issue persists, we will certainly assist you further.
