    Plugged in monitor defaults to making the laptop screen turn off.


    Whenever I plug my monitor into my laptop using hdmi, the default setup is to only show on the monitor and the laptop screen is black. The setting is "only on screen 2". It is easy to go in and change to what I and literally anyone else would want as default - extend. However when I unplug the monitor and plug it back in it reverts to the "only on 2" setting. So... is there a way to set a default instead of having to set it up each time?

    :)
