Windows 10: Duplicate displays, main display laptop is black, other display is displaying

I have a Lenovo ideapad Flex 5. I was on it last night, and I might of pressed some sort of shortcut. The display was completely fine until I accidently did something. It was dark, the lights weren't on, I couldn't see what I did. Now, after this, it seemed like the computer's display just wasn't working, but it did, so that's most likely not the issue. After this, I went into the Blue Screen of Death a few times, but I got that under control. Now, I have hooked it to my TV with a HDMI port to provide a actual display, even when I take out the cords, it still is some sort of connected to anoth

Laptop display does not detect itself

• Go to Settings.
• Click on System.

Duplicating Display

I didn't realize that but I will sure will look and give it a try. But first, I need to figure out how to get into the BIOS... - - - Updated - - - Thanks for reminding me to look into this but no such setting in the BIOS. However, what I did notice is the machine creates a 3rd display when I pick "Duplicate". As you can by the first screenshot, it appears as just "wired display" and the second screenshot shows 1 & 3 being recognized and not 2. Then when I go back to extend I have 3 displays instead of 2. So keep this in mind, the additional display is listed as 3 in "display settings" where it says to rearrange your displays but 2 in "advanced display settings." Lastly, in advanced display settings, the LCD monitor not shows a status of, "isn't active". I'm puzzled, any ideas?
