  1. Dual Monitor Setup Issue


    So I've got a weird problem with my dual monitor setup. I've been using them for over a year now and randomly a new problem started happening.

    I have a monitor that's displayport and one that's hdmi. When I have them both connected, the displayport monitor will randomly go black, and all my applications will go over to the hdmi monitor, which is the secondary monitor. Then it will come back on and go back to normal for a few seconds, minutes, or even hours. But sometimes this happens over and over again multiple times. But when I have only my displayport monitor on, it runs perfectly fine. I can also just have the hdmi monitor on and it runs fine too. Very frustrating, since it's only when both are connected.

    This started happening randomly. It wasn't after a windows update or driver update or installing a new program.

    I've already completely uninstalled my graphics card drivers, and then did a fresh reinstall of them.

    I've reinstalled drivers for my monitors.

    I've done all the windows updates.

    Really trying to avoid factory reset due to my files.

    If anyone has this issue or can help that'd be great.

    :)

  2. 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.

  3. Dual Monitor Setup Issues

    I have a dual monitor setup that works fine once I go to Intel Graphics Settings > Display > Multiple Display > Detect. But every time I restart my PC I have to do those steps again to get it to work. How can I have my second monitor recognized by default
    on startup?

    Setup dual monitor in Windows 10

    Hi,

    I suggest you to press Windows Key + P on keyboard and follow onscreen instruction to setup dual monitor in Windows 10. As there is a conflict in connecting multiple hardware you may also
    Run the Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter.

    Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with the Bluetooth adapter. Refer these steps:


    • Press Windows key +X, select
      Control panel.


    • Change the view by option on the top right to
      Large icons.

    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the
      view all option on the left panel.

    • Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter.

    • Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.
    Do let us know the status of the issue. Thank you.
