Windows 10: Multiple displays detected by Windows, but there is no extra display connected

Hello everyone,I hope someone can help me with this issue i've been having for a while. My laptop always "detects" 2 displays when I boot it up. But.... I have no extra display connected at all. Every USB and HDMI port is empty. Literally nothing is connected to the laptop. When I go to the "Display settings" of Windows and "Identify" the display's, the laptop screen is always selected as "Screen 2". But "Screen 1" has the red/orange colour selected. If I click the button "Show only on 2" and change it to " Show only on 1" the laptop screen turns black. After several seconds this change is aut

Multiple displays detected by Windows, but there is no extra display connected

Hello everyone,

I hope someone can help me with this issue i've been having for a while. My laptop always "detects" 2 displays when I boot it up. But.... I have no extra display connected at all. Every USB and HDMI port is empty. Literally nothing is connected to the laptop.

When I go to the "Display settings" of Windows and "Identify" the display's, the laptop screen is always selected as "Screen 2". But "Screen 1" has the red/orange colour selected. If I click the button "Show only on 2" and change it to " Show only on 1" the laptop screen turns black. After several seconds this change is automatically undone.

If I click on the option "Advanced Display", Display 1 is described as "Internal Display; Connected to Intel(R) UHD Graphics". It also states that "Display 1 isn't active". Display 2 is described as "Wired Display; Connected to NVIDIA RTX 3080 Laptop GPU" and it gives al kinds of data and the option to set a refresh rate.

My question is; Why does the system "detect" 2 displays? And can I change settings so that windows always just detects 1 display in stead of 2?

Many thanks in advance!

Dennis

 

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.

 

Windows won't detect by second display.

I have my monitor and TV connected to my GPU. In Display Settings, under Rearrange your displays I have the 2nd highlighted. Clicking the Detect button will render: Code:
