  1. Multiple Monitors


    Display Settings is not working properly for multiple monitors. Problem with duplicating display. The shortcut Windows + P works fine. When duplicating display is selected in Display Settings both monitors windup with very small task bar and no shortcuts on desktop.

  2. 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:

    Windows help & learning - Microsoft Support

    [Applies to Windows 10 as well]

    Regards.
