Windows 10: Multiple monitor problems

I have three monitors installed on my pc. One of them died but my pc still recognized it. When I unplug it from the computer, the cursor on my main monitor must swipe to the wrong side to get to my second. I've tried rearranging the icons in settings, uninstalling the dead monitor, and a few other things but nothing works. If I plug it in, the computer will recognize it, even though I've tried to uninstall it.


If I have a program open on the main monitor, if the dead one is plugged in, and swipe it to the second monitor, it's lost because the computer thinks it's on the dead one. I am so frustrated as today I will receive a new monitor and I don't know what will happen. Can anyone help?

Hi Ron,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

• What changes did you make in the BIOS? As making the changes in the BIOS is only recommended by Microsoft if done by the manufacturer.
  

• How are you connecting to the 2nd monitor?

I suggest you to follow the steps from this article below:
