Windows 10: How to ease free seating & different docking stations / different monitors

Hi guys, we recently renovated our office premises and we've gone from dedicated offices to open scenery & free seating. Which initially is giving a bit of headache for the employees whenever they switch seat, and have to readjust screen resolution etc all the time. Not all of our employees are that technically skilled as well. When people switch seat the default config seems to be monitor is duplicated and resolution is same as laptop screen.So I'm wondering if anyone have smart ideas on how to solve this is best way possible? We are using Lenovo laptops, a mix of different Lenovo docks a

Hi,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

• 
  Make sure the power light for the docking station is on
  
• 
  Make sure the monitor is getting power
  
• 
  Make sure the cable is connected properly to the monitor
  
• 
  Unplug and reconnect the Mini-DVI adapter on the back of your docking station
  
• 
  Try flipping the connector for the adapter over (turns out some adapters can go in upside-down)

Dual Monitors with Docking Station

Hello-

I have a Dell laptop that i use open with 2 external monitors. 1 monitor is plugged in via HDMI directly to the laptop, the other monitor is plugged in via HDMI to my external docking station. All 3 montiors worked fine until yesterday when my IT dept got into my computer to fix an unrelated issue. Since then my docking station monitor will no longer work, but all other docking station components are working fine.

When i go into Display, all 3 monitors are detected, but the docking station monitor appears as a small screen on the Display board, yet the actual monitor itself is black. When I try to get it to connect it is No HDMI signal for device.

how do I get this docking station monitor to work again? It worked fine for months before this. I did plug this monitor into my personal laptop and it works fine so the monitor or cable is not the issue.

Thoughts?
