Windows 10: How do I 'SAVE AS' in display settings to easily switch between home and work monitor...

At my office I have a 3 screen setup, at home I have 1 widescreen monitor and a secondary standard resolution monitor. Every time I take my laptop back and forth I have to redo the display settings, it would be very convenient to save those settings to a couple of profiles so I can just select a profile when I login.

Sudden Triple Monitor Issue - The display settings could not be saved

Okay couple of suggestions here...
First off I'm gonna start with the basics and tell you to go to amd website and reinstall the drivers. (Remove them first)

Second I would say look and see if the monitor is faulty. Plug it into one of the other ports and obviously see if it works.

Third, I would probably go ahead and replace the card considering you have had It for 3 years. I would suggest an EVGA GTX 750 TI for about 150$

 

Can not use two monitors. Error message: "The display settings could not be saved. Please try a different combination of display settings"

Hello,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

• Since when are you facing this issue with the monitors?
  
• Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on your computer?
  
• What happens when you try to duplicate the monitors?
  

I suggest you to try changing the display ports of the monitors and check if the second monitor is getting detected.



I suggest you to follow the methods mentioned below and check if that helps.

Method 1: Try rolling back the driver.

To roll back the driver to previous build follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Press and hold the Windows + X key on the keyboard.
   
2. Select Device manager.
   
3. In Device manager, expand Display adaptor.
   
4. Right click on NVIDIA
   Drivers and select Properties.
   
5. Navigate to the Driver tab and click on Roll Back Driver.
   
6. Restart the computer.
   

Method 2: Change the screen resolution.

1. Go to Settings>System>Display.
   
2. Under Resolution, set the resolution as 1024 x 768.
   
3. Set the same resolution on the other monitor.
   

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
