Windows 10: Laptop Name Appears on Desktop Monitor

I once connected my Toshiba laptop via HDMI to my home computer LG monitor. My home computer is HP.


Now, my LG monitor always says "Toshiba Leading Innovation" in the lower right corner of LG monitor every time it turns on even though the monitor is connected to my HP home computer and connected to the HP computer every time I turn it on.


Does anyone know why this happened and how I can removed laptop name "Toshiba Leading Innovation" even though my HP home computer is connected to LG monitor?


Thanks,


Steve

Desktop shortcuts appear on external monitor instead of pc

Hi,

I will certainly help you with the issue you are experiencing in getting
desktop shortcuts on your PC from External monitor.

This issue might occur due to default settings where you are not able to view the desktop shortcuts on the PC, you are looking for.

Before proceeding further, I would like to ask few questions for better assistance:

• 
  Which edition of Windows are you working with?
  

Please follow below mentioned steps to fix the issue:

• 
  Plug in the second monitor which physically sits to the left of your primary screen
  
• 
  Right click the desktop, choose
  Graphic Options>Output To>Extended Desktop> Built-in display + Monitor.
  
• 
  Extended desktop enabled, but screen 2 (on the left) can only be accessed by moving the cursor to the right.
  
• 
  Right click the desktop and choose
  Graphic Properties - choose 'Multiple Displays' from the side menu.
  
• 
  Move monitor 2 from its default
  'Right' side to the left – all the icons go with it
  to screen 2 but the taskbar stays on the primary monitor.
  
• 
  Click 'Apply' to accept this (temporarily) - close the
  'properties' window.
  
• 
  Right Click the desktop, but this time choose
  'Screen Resolution'. Ensure that screen 2 is to the left - if not, move it.
  
• 
  Click on screen 1 and ensure it says
  'This is currently your main display'
  
• 
  Click on screen 2 and tick the box that says
  'Make this my main display' - the taskbar should move to screen 2.
  
• 
  Finally click on Screen 1 again and tick the box that says
  'Make this my main display' - the taskbar and
  all the icons should move back to screen 1.
  

I would like to Inform/suggest, Press the
Windows key + P, and then choose a way to project:

• 
  PC screen only
  – All your desktop shortcuts will be seen only on primary monitor/Desktop.
  
• 
  Duplicate- Desktop Shortcuts that is on primary monitor/Desktop will replicate on Secondary monitor too.
  
• 
  Extend- Primary monitor will be extended to Secondary monitor. But all the desktop shortcuts will appear only on primary monitor. (If you want to have the desktop
  shortcuts that’s on primary monitor on secondary monitor, you can just drag the shortcuts from primary to secondary monitor and check if that helps).
  
• 
  Second screen only- All your desktop shortcuts will be seen only on Secondary monitor/Desktop.
  

Please get back to us, if you still facing issue
in getting desktop shortcuts on your PC from External monitor.

Thank you.
