Windows 10: How to disable display detection on Display Port connection?

Hi,


I do have the following setup: Two PCs connected via KVM switch to two 2K LCDs.


The problem: Every time I switch to the second PC and back, all windows are gathered on the main/left screen and sometimes all the icons a scrambled.


Is there any possibility at all to tell Windows once and for all, that e.g. that both screen has the resolution 2560x1440. And regardless whether one, all or no screen is connected, these resolutions stay as they are and will never change.


Cheers,

Carsten

Laptop display does not detect itself

Hi,

In regards to your concern, since the second screen can't detect the display settings of your other laptop, we suggest that you perform the steps below and see if it helps:

• Go to Settings.
• Click on System.
• Under System, choose Display.
• Under Multiple displays, click on Duplicate these displays and apply.

display monitor not detected

I have a second screen which was detected and worked yesterday. I was using it as a second monitor by extending my display. From today I am not able to detect it. I am using a HDMI cable to connect my laptop to the second screen.

Steps I have tried:

1. Turning off and then turning on. both the laptop and the power source to the display.

2. Removing HDMI cable and connecting the cable again.

3. Trying to detect the second screen from display settings but i get the error "Didn't detect another display."

4. Disabling and enabling device drivers under "Display Adapters" in device manager.

5. uninstalling and installing driver under "Display Adapters" in device manager.

6. Using win + P and choosing extend display.

7. I also tried using my spare laptop (using ubuntu). And the screen extension worked. So the HDMI cable and the screen display work.

Any ideas on how to proceed with fixing the issue?
