    Is it possible to permanently remove monitors from the "Connect Sidebar"?


    When you press WinKey + K, the Connect Sidebar opens, showing all the possible devices you can connect to. I use this menu to connect to Bluetooth Headphones. Even though my monitors have audio outputs, I never use them. I have 8 monitors. It is useless for me to see/have them in the Connect Sidebar. I've tried removing them multiple times, via the "Bluetooth & other devices" settings menu, but they always get automatically reinstalled.Is there a way to permanently delete them? Or at the very least, is there a way to permanently hide them from the Connect Sidebar?

    :)

    external monitors switch off randomly - possibly connected to Skype for Business usage?

    Hi Robert,

    It is possible that you're experiencing issues with your external monitors due to corrupted or outdated drivers. To assist you better, I'd like to gather more information:

    • Are you using the same device when connecting your laptop to your external monitors?
    • Have you tried updating your drivers?

    Meanwhile, if not, I suggest that you follow the steps in this article about updating drivers in Windows
    10.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Is it possible to permanently remove monitors from the "Connect Sidebar"?

    i have a problem to connect 2 monitors.

    Hi Ron,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    • What changes did you make in the BIOS? As making the changes in the BIOS is only recommended by Microsoft if done by the manufacturer.
    • How are you connecting to the 2nd monitor?
    I suggest you to follow the steps from this article below:

    [Applies to Windows 10 as well]

    Regards.
