  1. Make Win10 treat laptop LCD screen as external monitor, possible?


    Hello, I've been having this new issue with the latest nvidia driver update where all options from nvidia control panel were removed, except for 3D settings. Using DDU and rolling back to old versions did not fix it at all.
    Those settings are restored once I plug an external monitor, but I don't have my external monitor anymore, so I need a workaround. Do you think it's possible to make windows recognize my laptop monitor as an external one? Thanks in advance.

  2. using a monitor to extend my screen

    Hi Lou,

    There are several possible reasons why your LCD monitor suddenly stopped working. It could be that the graphic driver is outdated or could be the cable used is already damaged.

    For us to isolate this problem, we would like to ask the following information:

    • Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue?
    • Have you installed any updates?

    In the meantime, please try the following suggestions and see if your laptop will detect the LCD monitor:

    • Update the graphic card driver. Check out Update drivers in Windows 10 for the steps.
    • Use another cable. Try using another VGA cable to connect the LCD monitor to the laptop.
    • Connect the LCD monitor to another computer. To help us isolate the issue, try connecting the LCD monitor to a different computer.

    Please let us know how it goes. We're looking forward to hearing from you.

    Regards.

    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    It is possible that you're experiencing issues with your external monitors due to corrupted or outdated drivers.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.
