  2. 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.

    Multitasking/Virtual Desktops on Dual Monitors

    Hi,

    Great question.

    Virtual desktop can only work on your one monitor, the another monitor is just extension of your first monitor. Another option is to use

    Hyper-V
    on other monitor.

    Regarding on your idea you can raise it through the Windows Feedback App. You can post your suggestions or ideas that can help us improve the service that we provide.

    How to find Windows Feedback app:

    • Press Windows key+ Q, and type Feedback.
    • Select Windows Feedback and sign in using your Microsoft Account.

    Hope it helps.

    Regards.
