Windows 10: dual monitor not working after latest update

Windows 10 Update - Now my dual monitors do not work

Hi,





One of the possible reasons why Windows 10 was unable to detect your dual monitor is an outdated or incompatible graphics driver. To best address your concern, we need you to answer the following questions:

• Which Windows 10 build are you using?
• Have you already tried performing the troubleshooting steps suggested by
  Mauro Cavallin on June 16, 2017?
• Are both of the monitors not working just like what the original poster was experiencing? If yes, have you tried disconnecting one of the monitors? What was the outcome?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

We will be waiting for your response.

 

Dual monitors not working after update

after windows update cannot use dual monitors. Detect monitors will not work and right clicking on screen will not allow resolution button to show

 

Dual monitor stopped working after windows 10 update

So yesterday windows 10 decided to do a big update, the one where it reinstalls the os.

Everything seemed fine, but then I realized that my 2 monitor setup stopped working. It was set as "duplicate" where monitor 2 was the main display and 1 was the secondary.

In DISPLAY SETTINGS I tried to set it back to duplicate or extend or show only on 1 (it shows only on 2) bit with no success:

It looks loke windows is doing that and it pops up the regular "do you want to keep settings or revert" thingy, but it actually just leaves monitor 2 as the only display.

Also, the "make this my main diaplay" is grayed out.

I tried installing new latest nvidia deiver using DDU, rolling back to older driver, nothing changed. Only thing helping is plugging out the cable of one of the diaplays. Then i can get the one that i want to work and exchange if I want by plugging out
the other cable. What now???
