Laptop display question

Confusing statement! You want to change the display on your laptop that died?

Is that correct?

How do you know its the display that's bad?

Just google "how to change display on a acer 5745"

Should get you to step by step instructions. But first make sure its the display that's bad

 

Desktop icons scattering after connecting secondary display

Hello,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. Are you aware of any changes being made to the PC?
   
2. Which version of Windows 10 you are using currently?
   
3. Are you using a HDMI cable or a VGA cable to connect the display?
   
4. How are you re-arranging the icons?
   
5. Have you tried connecting the display first and then switching on the PC?
   

I suggest you to try the steps mentioned below and check if that helps.



Method 1:



Try aligning the icons to grid.

1. Right click on the desktop and click on View.
   
2. Now click on auto arrange icons and click on
   align icons to grid.
   

Method 2:

Windows 10 wifi not turning on Acer Aspire laptop

In order to get the list of available wireless networks, you have to:

1. Switch on Connect to suggested open hotspots (see the screenshot in question);
   
2. Click on Wifi icon in the right corner. Now you have your networks back.
   

After that the parameter from Step 1 can be turned off, networks will be listed normally after restarting Wifi.

P.S. I feel rather stupid at the moment. I thought that open hotspots are passwordless hotspots and so are presumably not very safe. So of course I've turned that off during installation.
Really hard to see any logic in this case.
