    I have a laptop and 2 external screens. how do I set the display such that I can close the main laptop screen screen 1 and only use the 2 external screens screen 2 and 3?

    Cannot get non-connected 2nd Monitor screen moved to Laptop Screen?

    This is kind of hard to explain in a Subject line.

    I have a USB Docking station set up at home with 2 large monitors, keyboard, printers, etc. connected to the docking station -- all plugged into a Laptop, whose screen is also active. Works great - Window's magic, I guess. I also have several programs
    set up to come up (screen display) on the 2nd or 3rd Monitor screens when they are loaded.

    My problem is, if (when) I just unplug the USB cable to the Docking station and take my Laptop over to a friends house, when I load one of the programs that comes up on one of my monitors, the program comes up and loads correctly (i.e. shows up on the taskbar
    as running) - but the display is someplace in outer space because the 2nd (or 3rd) monitor is not there.

    And for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to get the screen display (which the program apparently thinks is being correctly displayed on my 2nd monitor) moved over to my Laptop screen.

    DETECT in the Settings\Display screen does not find any extra monitors (because they are not there) and the Extend and other options under the Windows-P Project option does not seem to help -- and many of the suggested fixes document steps involving options
    that are apparently for older versions of Windows because many of the steps don't match the options on my version of Windows, which is the very latest Windows 10 update.

    Surely there must be a simple way to fix this, but I have spent oven an hour trying to figure it out.

    [P.S. I finally got the screen from the 2nd monitor to display on my Laptop screen, BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I DID TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.]

  3. Screen Extend on 2 laptops not working

    Hi, I recently tried extending my current laptop screen to the 2nd laptop using "Project this PC" option on Windows 10.
    -I watched several tutorials from YouTube but still didn't work.
    -It seems the laptops discovery mode on the both Laptops was failing.
    -I rebooted the laptops and toggled the settings in display property, pressing Windows + P to bring the extend Screen options and this is the step where both PCs were failing to get discovered.
    -Both laptops are using Windows 10. Same Wifi internet.
    -I also installed separate App from Asus called "GlideX" which is specifically designed to share/extend screens on Asus or any other laptop/ mobile device but that also failed.
    -In project this PC at display setting there is option to screen share if "pc is plugged in" I unchecked that also but still not available.
    After taking extensive steps now I am looking forward to get feedback from professionals?

  4. Extending Monitors to 2nd and 3rd Screen while laptop screen off

    Screen Resolution issue on 3rd Display

    Dear Team,

    I am using a Dell Work station T5810XL machine ,installed with WIn 10 OS. There are 2 Nvidia (NVS 315) display driver installed in that machines.

    On first Nvidia Card 2 Monitors are connected & works fine in extended display environment. Perfect Screen resolution is maintained at 1280*1024.

    On connecting 3rd screen ( Actually a Barco make Large Video screen) on 2nd Nvidia card, & selecting the option " extend 2to3 Display" , the screen resolution drops down automatically on screen no 2 ( i.e Second Monitor) & Screen No 3 ( Large screen). The
    display option on the monitor & Large screen get's reduced.

    Please suggest..
