Windows 10: How to stay on 'PC screen only' even after connecting secondary monitor?

I have an external monitor connected to my laptop through HDMI port.On selecting 'PC screen only' from Win+P menu, external monitor loses HDMI signal and goes to signal detection mode in a few seconds.This results in a disconnect / reconnect event and Windows switches back to 'Extend' display mode.Essentially, I can never get to 'PC screen only' mode.How do I prevent windows from switching?

Touch screen connected as secondary monitor.

Touch screen connected as secondary monitor (when needed !)

And always my primary monitor sets as touch screen.

Any possibilities to change this -> To set up specific monitor with touch support be as touch screen forever?

Always i do when I need secondary monitor:

I connecting monitor with touch screen -> Tablet PC Settings -> setup ......

Main monitor no touch support Philips UltraWide,

Secondary - Dell with touch.

Both monitors have no drivers for Windows 11.

Sincerely

Secondary monitor suddenly not recognized

Hi there,

My setup:

Intel i7-3770 @ 3.40 GHz

EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

Win 10 pro 64 bit

My graphics card has the following outputs: 3x Display port, 1x DVI, 1x HDMI

Until now i had my main (4k) monitor connected via display port and a secondary monitor (FullHD) connected via DVI. It was working fine for over a year. Two days ago during gaming my secondary monitor
suddenly shut off. Since then it isnt recognized anymore.

Troubleshooting until now:

• any other monitors i plug in via hdmi or dvi arent recognized in windows (device manager or display settings) or nvidia system control (i dont have other display port monitors available)
• also the manual device recognition in display settings and nvidia system control doesnt find anything (same with searching for new hardware in win device manager)
  
• when starting the pc with only the DVI plugged in, BIOS and windows loading screen is displayed via DVI, as soon as the login screen would come up, DVI screen shuts down and nothing is displayed (when
  plugging in dp at this point, win login screen is displayed there)
• cables are working fine (hdmi cable works with other pc, dvi screen displays bios when no other screen is plugged in)
  
• i selected dvi as source on the secondary monitor
  
• when plugging into the pc the secondary monitor it lights up and tells me "no signal available"
  
• everything behaves the same regardless of which of my three display ports i am using
  
• i rolled back to different nvidia drivers and clean installed the newest driver, nothing changed anything
  
• i installed all available windows 10 updates and drivers
  
• i reset windows
  
• i disconnected power from all screens and waited vor 30 mins
  
• i deinstalled the monitor and graphics card in device manager
  
• i removed, cleaned and reinstalled the graphics card from my motherboard
• i tried to connect the secondary monitor either via DVI or HDMI, same behavior in both situations
• i tried to connect another monitor either via DVI or HDMI, didnt work either

i dont know what else to try... thanks in advance for your help.
