    How to project to screen and use laptop for other purpose at once


    I have an Acer laptop and am running Windows 10. I am a high school teacher and I'm trying to project something onto the screen for the class to be watching and while that's happening I want to be able to work on the laptop on something else. So I've tried searching for how to split the screen etc but everything I try, when I actually project it, everything on my screen is projected. Can someone please help?

    :)

    Unable to project PC screen to TV

    Hi Pat,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Please reply to the following questions to help you further:

    • How are you trying to project the Laptop screen?
    • Are you receiving any error message?
    • Were you able to project the laptop screen to TV earlier?
    • What is the make and model of your laptop?

    In the meantime, I suggest you to refer the steps in the article
    Fix connections to wireless displays or docks
    and check if that helps.

    Hope it helps.

    Project Second screen constantly appearing.

    Hi Norga,

    Thank you for using Windows 10.

    Let us know some more information so that we can diagnose and troubleshoot the issue in a better way:

    • what is the exact issue that you want us to help with? Do you want to get help in projecting a second screen or to remove the popup?
    • As you've said " I tried unsuccessfully to project a screen", do you wish to project a second screen currently?
    • What happened exactly when you tried to project a second screen? Did you receive any error message or any error code?
    The popup comes as the system might not be able to detect the monitors. I suggest you to update the Display drivers, it may force the system to detect the available monitors. Here is the steps:

    • Press “Windows + X” and select Device manger.
    • Locate the driver and expand the driver icon.
    • Right click on the driver icon and click on Update.

    Reply with the information and we'll be happy to assist you.
