    Dual Monitors hooked to a laptop

    I've got a Windows 10 laptop which is convertible to a tablet. Specifically, you can turn the screen around and lay it down for note taking in class. What I'm trying to do is hook the laptop to a dual monitor setup. Every time my computer is put into the
    tablet mode it will not put an image out onto my dual monitors, then I have to reconfigure the display settings. I just want to know how to have it automatically detect my dual monitors being plugged in and to display the image on the monitors whether the
    lid is open, closed, or in tablet mode.

    Monitor settings when close laptop lid

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, we would need some information.

    1. What is the version and
      build of you operating system? In the Search box, type
      winver to get this info.
    2. May I know the Make and the model of the computer and external monitor?
    3. Are you aware of any changes made on your computer before this issue occurred?

    We also suggest following the steps below and check if it makes any difference.

    Since you are facing issue with the Secondary monitor, I would suggest you to
    Troubleshoot external monitor connections in Windows 10
    and check if it fixes the issue.

    Additionally refer this article on Second
    screen or Projector mode does not persist after you close and reopen a laptop lid    .

    I look forward to your reply.

    Thanks,

    Suman.B

    Dual Monitors with Laptop closed

    Dual monitors will not work

    I downloaded Windows 10 version 1903 and now my Dual monitors will not work with laptop monitor.

    I have disabled the display adapter - AMD Radeon RX Vega 10 Graphics and I then can get my dual monitors working BUT there is a black screen on my laptop.

    It will not detect the laptop screen.

    I would like to have all three so I can choose.

    Any suggestions??
