Windows 10: Laptops & Two Display

Had to use my Laptop as a Laptop. It's been a while, retired.

Anyway Usually functions as my desktop with Windows 10. I use both the Touch Display on the Laptop as well as a Larger 2nd Display Touch Screen. Never have had issues.
Well came back after 3 hours and plugged in the desk USB and HDMI cables. Usually it just flickers and both screens are good. This time not.
While the Laptops screen was working fine both independent of the Number Two screen now it turns off. The Display settings say that it does not detect any other screen.

Now of course I have tried rebooting. Both with the 2nd screen plugged in or not. The Device manager shows the Drivers in places with out errors.

It just will not display on both the Laptop and Stand alone display at the same time.
Again, This is a new problem. It has appeared out of nowhere after years of operating in tandem.


st went to a meeting and I wanted to have the device nearby.


Thanks.

Laptop display question

Confusing statement! You want to change the display on your laptop that died?

Is that correct?

How do you know its the display that's bad?

Just google "how to change display on a acer 5745"

Should get you to step by step instructions. But first make sure its the display that's bad

 

Laptop display does not detect itself

Hi,

In regards to your concern, since the second screen can't detect the display settings of your other laptop, we suggest that you perform the steps below and see if it helps:

• Go to Settings.
• Click on System.
• Under System, choose Display.
• Under Multiple displays, click on Duplicate these displays and apply.

Let us know the details so we could further help.

 

Laptop display does not detect itself

Hi,

I only have 1 computer (the laptop) and 1 external monitor. The laptop cannot detect its own screen.

So when I follow your steps, this is what happens:

• Go to Settings. (Done)
• Click on System. (Done)
• Under System, choose Display. (Done)
• Under Multiple displays, click on Duplicate these displays and apply. (Done)
• But then I undock my laptop and redock. Re-login, etc.
• Only the external display turns on. The laptop does not turn on its own display. In order to get the laptop display to wake up, I need to follow steps 1-4 again. The settign "Duplicate these displays" does not seem to be retained.
