Windows 10: Multiple monitors on a windows 10 laptop

I purchased a VGA splitter that can support up to 4 monitors.

I have added 2 additional monitors so I have the main laptop screen and 2 additional monitors.

All 3 have a display but the 2 additional monitors only seem to duplicate the main. I cannot get them to extend across all 3.

I have spent significant time in windows settings trying to get it to change from duplicate to extend.


This PC works great with one additional monitor but now that I have added the third it does not seems to recognize it, only duplicate it from #2 monitor.


I have them identified as 1 is the main laptop in the center, #2 is on the left side and is recognized, #3 is on the right side and is not active per windows identify command but # 2 display is duplicated to #3. When I do identify, windows shows #2 on both #2 and #3. right and left side monitors,


If anyone knows if I have missed something in my set up, I would appreciate a point in the right direction.


Thank you

JK

i have a problem to connect 2 monitors.

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:

[Applies to Windows 10 as well]

Windows 10 1903 - Laptop Docking with Multiple Monitors, Settings Fail

We are observing with Multiple Dell Latitude systems post upgrade to Windows 10 1903 video support for multiple external monitors when docking a laptop fails, presenting the users with a black screen, that is only resolved by undocking, allow the video to
refresh, then re-docking and spending considerable time going back into the display settings to re-adjust all of the personalization.

Some of the steps taken to this point have been to, uninstall the Intel Driver suite provided by Dell, allow Windows to install the default drivers, re-run Windows update for any changes and test, unfortunately this did not resolved
the video management problems. The second step taken what to uninstall the drivers after the default Windows update and re-install the latest driver suite from Dell, again repeating the same steps and again resulting in unstable multiple monitor support when
docking the laptops.

We have covered the basics by setting the desired "primary display" in settings to one of the external displays. Diving into driver details does show that Microsoft installs a default Intel driver dating back to 2017 or 2018, while Dell and Intel provide
newer drivers, none of these are working.

It's clear the problem is between Microsoft - Dell - Intel, a lack of testing.

Sure would like to see if others have had this problem and suggest solutions.

Thanks,

Dave
