    I have a 2 monitor setup that I can move my mouse from one side to the other. With that being said, I see a proportionate amount of black space on the monitor that looks like the display is "pushed" over and not perfectly fit on my screen. Please help, Thanks!

    Windows + Shift + right doesn't shift window to the right screen (shifting to the left works fine)

    When I use Windows Key + Shift + left the active window jumps to the monitor on the left like expected Screen is shifted to the left of the external monitor. :)
    But when I try to do it the other way around: Windows Key + Shift + right the window doesn't jump back to the right Screen is shifted to the left of the external monitor. :( Nothing happens. Why? How can I fix this?

    PS: I am using Windows 10 Version 1903 (64 bit) on my ThinkPad with two additional external monitors.
    Windows Key + right moves the window correctly to the right (step by step but not directly to the next monitor).
    Maybe the Windows Key + Shift + right was overwritten by something else? How can I find out?

    Laptop screen will only work once it has been connected to an external monitor, even if that monitor is switched off

    Having an issue whereby I cannot see or use the Laptop screen without first plugging it into an external monitor.


    • Upon Windows startup unconnected to any external monitor

      • DELL opening logo can be seen on Laptop screen

      • Screen goes black with backlight

      • Mouse pointer can be seen onscreen if moved to the right, as though a second monitor is connected on the left hand side.

      • Attempting to press enter and type in password in the correct order as though the screen was functional does not do anything

    • Upon connecting to an external monitor (even if switched off)

      • Laptop screen will suddenly appear, all functionality restored

    • Upon disconnecting again from external monitor

      • Laptop screen remains visible and functional

      • Lock screen /unlock screen no problem

    • Upon shutting and opening the laptop lid

      • Screen black with backlight, same results as windows startup, mouse pointer can be seen and moved as though a second screen is connected on the left

      • No functionality until reconnected, even for a second, with an external monitor.

    Troubleshooting:


    • Restarting multiple times, checking multiple display screen is not activated:
