  1. Screensaver Issue for Dual Monitor setup


    After a bit of research, I figured out what was happening. I wanted for my "Photos" screensaver to show up on my primary monitor.


    Here's what happened:

    On my left is a 27" 1080p monitor; and right in front of me is a 32" 1440p monitor. Upon selecting the screensaver settings I thought would create the desired results, the images appeared only on my 1080p (secondary) screen. As much as I searched, I found no setting to change the primary monitor in which the screensaver was displayed. When I changed the images folder, I noticed that the larger images extended into my 1440p (main) screen. I realized that the leftmost screen is the default screen in which Windows places the screensaver. I changed my display options to emulate my secondary screen's position on the right side: the screensavers then defaulted to my main screen.


    As for my situation:

    I have neither space nor desire to place my secondary screen on my right side. Does anybody know of cheap/free third-party software that can achieve my desired results?


    TL;DR

    When using dual monitor setup, Windows defaults "Photos" option to the leftmost screen.

    :)

  2. Double Monitor Setup is not connecting

    Hi Yuri,

    To setup dual monitors, I suggest you to press Windows + P keys
    and select Extend or the required option and check for status. If you are still unable to setup dual monitor, suggest you to update the Display Adapter driver by following the steps provided below and check for status.

    • Press Windows key + X and select Device Manager.
    • Expand Display Adapters.
    • Right click on the driver and select Update Driver Software.
    • Follow the on-screen prompts to update the driver.

    Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

  3. Dual Monitor Setup Issues

    I have a dual monitor setup that works fine once I go to Intel Graphics Settings > Display > Multiple Display > Detect. But every time I restart my PC I have to do those steps again to get it to work. How can I have my second monitor recognized by default
    on startup?

    Screensaver Issue for Dual Monitor setup

    Setup dual monitor in Windows 10

    Hi,

    I suggest you to press Windows Key + P on keyboard and follow onscreen instruction to setup dual monitor in Windows 10. As there is a conflict in connecting multiple hardware you may also
    Run the Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter.

    Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with the Bluetooth adapter. Refer these steps:


    • Press Windows key +X, select
      Control panel.


    • Change the view by option on the top right to
      Large icons.

    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the
      view all option on the left panel.

    • Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter.

    • Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.
    Do let us know the status of the issue. Thank you.
