    how to turn off Dell XPS monitor and use only 2 external monitors


    I have a Dell XPS with Windows 10. I have it set up in a docking station and want to use only the 2 external monitors, and shut the XPS, not using that monitor. I don't see how to turn off one of the 3 displays. Can you assist? Thank you.

    :)

    Dell XPS 15.6 Monitor issues

    Hi,

    Monitors may not work as expected if the driver is not up-to-date. With this said, we suggest that you check if you have the latest drivers installed. In addition, we would like to ask some questions that may help us to isolate the issue.

    • Does the external monitor work with your laptop before?
    • Have you tried to connect the external monitor to your desktop?
    • When did the issue start?
    • Were there any changes made to your computer prior to the issue?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
    We're looking forward to your response.

    how to turn off Dell XPS monitor and use only 2 external monitors

    External monitor

    On my Dell XPS 13 Windows 10 laptop, my external monitor is only detected if I reboot the laptop. Then if I disconnect it for some time and then reconnect it, the monitor is no longer detected and I have to reboot. Then it is detected again. This isn't
    a huge problem but somewhat irritating. Anyone know why this is happening?
