Windows 10: Incorrect Monitor Identification Issue

Hello,I'm experiencing a strange issue with my multi-monitor setup. I have six monitors, but the system keeps incorrectly identifying the middle top monitor as Monitor 4 instead of Monitor 3.Has anyone encountered this problem before or have any suggestions on how to fix it?Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Monitor issue

Hi,

This could be related to a driver issue or due to an incorrect power supply to the monitor from the CPU. To come up with the resolution, kindly answer the questions below:

• What is the build and version of your Windows 10?

• Is the monitor working before, or this is the first time you'll be using it?

• Did you try plugging the monitor on a different computer? Is it working?

• Are there any recent changes to your computer prior to the issue?

• Have you installed any additional graphics card on your computer?

As an initial troubleshooting step, we suggest you download the drivers for the monitor from the manufacturer website and install it and check the status of the issue.

We'll keep an eye on your response.

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.
