    Multiple display selection not present


    Went from upgrade 10130 with both monitors in extended mode to a clean install of 10130. Multiple display selection is not present. Both monitors are in Mirror mode at the present. (both showing the same thing). Connected devices only show 1 monitor. Graphics is on the Mother board. (I run W8.1 on same machine without any display issue.)

    :)

    Need to reset what "Display Settings" does when I plug in a second monitor

    In that case, try changing the Multiple displays option to Duplicate displays. Right-click on desktop then select display settings. Click advanced display settings and select the main monitor. On the drop down menu of "Multiple displays", select Duplicate
    displays then click apply.

    Get back to us if you need further assistance.

    Multiple Display Size for "Select and Rearrange Displays"

    That's because the displays are different densities (number of pixels-per-square-inch, also known as DPI or Dots Per Inch). Even though the monitor is physically smaller in real life, it has many more dots, and thus it appears larger in the preview graphic.

    There is absolutely nothing you can do about it, you just have to drag the two monitor representations around with that understanding in mind. you can still make the monitors "touch" in different spots, but the pixel dots have to line up.

    See DPI Scaling in HD Multi-Monitor Configurations for details about how to do this, including
    a video that demonstrates it towards the bottom of the page.

    Okay maybe there is one thing you could do about it: buy monitors that all have the exact same number of dots-per-inch, and then you'll never have this issue.

    Would anybody venture to guess as to whether this is a BIOS, PNP or W10 problem? If I just connect one at a time, W10 will recognize the monitor by name and model number just not both.

    The last update had a AMD 3000 driver update, this solved the problem.
