    Projecting PC to second screen


    I cannot display a second screen from my Surface 3 laptop. I am not able to change the screen resolution when connected to the second display. When I try to change the screen resolution to suit the projector resolution I get the error message "The display settings could not be changed. Please try a different combination of display settings" . I have tried various combinations without success"

    I was able to project successfully without having to manually change screen settings before doing a refresh of Windows 10.

    Any help appreciated.

    :)

    Type Project in the Cortana Search and click on Project to a second screen. Make sure PC Screen Only is selected.

    Projecting to a second screen

    I can't seem to connect to wireless display. Whenever I open the projection screen it's always back in PC only mode. I keep changing it and trying to connect to a wireless display but I keep getting the message "couldn't connect"

    Are your display drivers up to date?

    If you go to Settings > System > Display, does it show both Monitors? And what does Device Manager show for Display adapters?

    The display shows 2 monitors with the second monitor greyed out and the 1st monitor blue when I plug in the VGA adapter to the display port. Display adapters shows "Intel(R) HD Graphics"

    Thanks

    Projecting PC to second screen

    On my triple monitor setup, two of the three will be greyed out if I switch to "PC Screen only". Only the one set as main stays blue. Once I switch to "Extend" they all go blue. Does it change if you switch to Extend or Second Screen only ?
