Windows 10: How do I extend the desktop to three monitors in Windows 11?

I have a three-monitor setup: one monitor is built into my laptop, one is connected via the laptop's HDMI port, and the third is connected via a USB to HDMI extender. All 3 monitors are recognized when I go into display setting, and I can see my desktop on all three monitors. Further, I can extend my desktop to monitors 1 and 2 or to 2 and 3 but not to all three at the same time. This worked seamlessly in Windows 10, but I'm having issues in Windows 11.I'm in the process of migrating to a new laptop. The laptop's bios is up to date, and I had to installed new drivers for the USB to HDMI video

extending monitors

Hello,

I hope I can help you today

solote allow two monitors but here I leave this possible solution

Step 1

Connect a monitor to the normal video card, using the necessary cable (DVI, VGA or HDMI). This will be the main screen, so place it directly in front of your computer's cabinet.

Step 2

Connect the second monitor to the alternative port of the video card, and then restart the computer. The PC will automatically detect the second monitor.

Step 3

Go to the "Show options" window by right clicking on the desktop, then select the "Properties" option. From there, click on the second monitor (which will appear in the drop-down menu), and then activate the "Extend my desktop on this screen" checkbox.

Step 4

Connect the third monitor to your original video card (if it has three outputs) or to another video card, and then restart the computer one more time.

Step 5

Go to the "Show options" window by right clicking on the desktop, then select the "Properties" option. From there, click on the third monitor (which will appear in the drop-down menu), and then activate the "Extend my desktop to this screen" checkbox
