Windows 10: Duplicate monitor display

1. Since recently being upgrade to WIN 10 1803 I am unable to show both monitor screens. What are the steps to getting both monitors to show?


2. I was also at a user's screen and tried to get the mouse cursor to go forward to one monitor to the other without the cursor going backwards on to the other screen.


It is best to contact via this email: *** Email address is removed for privacy ***


Thank you

duplicating monitor

Hi,

Your concern about projecting your display to another monitor can be due to the configuration of your device and/or the setup that you're using.
To help us determine the appropriate troubleshooting steps that can resolve your concern, we would like to ask the following questions:

• What’s the current resolution of your display settings in your device? To check, right-click on the blank area of the desktop, choose
  Display settings and click Advanced display settings.
  
• If any, what error messages did you receive when selecting duplicate? If possible, can you send us a screenshot of it?

In the meantime, we recommend that you run the built-in diagnostic tool in Windows 10 or the Windows 10 Troubleshooter. To do this, follow the steps below:

• In the Search box, type Troubleshooting and press
  Enter.
• Click on Hardware and
  Sound.
• Find Hardware and Devices and click on it.

The troubleshooter will perform a diagnostic process on your system that will check and fix issues related to your device.
If the troubleshooter finds any issues, it'll be listed in the result with additional instructions you may need to follow. However, in most cases, the troubleshooter will find and apply fixes automatically.

Give us an update with the outcome.

 

Windows 10 doesn't show native display for second monitor

Hi,

In order to for your Windows 10 to show the native display for the second monitor, you may revert all screen settings back to default, and see if this resolves the issue. If it doesn't, you may try these steps:

• Press Windows key + P.
• If your monitor settings is on Duplicate, try choosing
  Extend.
• If your monitor settings is on Extend try choosing the
  Duplicate.
• Check the resolution if both monitors are showing the same resolution value.
  

Let us know the result for us to assist you further.

Regards.

 

Duplicate Display on an external monitor & a projector

Yes, I can extend separate screens to both external monitors, and still keep the desktop on my laptop screen.

However, I cannot duplicate the display on the two external monitors.
