  1. Dual Monitors not extending - Windows 10


    Hi! I have a Samsung Curved Gaming Monitor and a HP Office Monitor. I plan to connect both of these monitors to my pc so i can have a dual monitor setup. I've tried countless cables, splitters and multiple test monitors and all my pc wants to do is duplicate and not extend. When i press "Detect Multiple Displays" it tells me that there isn't any and therefore doesn't give me any of the multiple display options. I've been told that this is an OS issue and i would love some assistance. My pc is from PC Specialist with a NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1660 super graphics card and i run Windows 10. Would love

    :)

    Extend Display to second and third monitors

    Hi Ian,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I appreciate the efforts taken by you in resolving the issue. I understand that you are unable to extend the display to second or third monitor. I’ll certainly assist you with the issue.



    However, it would be great if you can help us with the details requested below:



    • What happens when you try to extend the display?
    • Do you receive any error message/code?
    • Are you aware of any changes made to the computer recently?
    • Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? To check type:
      winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
      Enter.
    • What is the make and model of the laptop?


    Ideally, to extend the display we can use the shortcut Windows logo key + P, and select
    Extend from the menu.



    I would suggest you to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the article

    Troubleshoot external monitor connections in Windows 10
    and see if that helps.



    For additional information, see
