  1. Second monitor is connected but not showing on Windows 11 , why ?


    So in the advanced display settings the two monitors are listed, but the second monitor is still black and it says connecting, no signal. It was working previously and stopped working when I plugged in my tablet, the tablet is working fine . I already tried : rollback /update the drivers, changed the screen refresh rates hz , changed the project mode. PLEASE HELP

  2. Windows 10 doesn't show native display for second monitor

    Hi,

    In order to for your Windows 10 to show the native display for the second monitor, you may revert all screen settings back to default, and see if this resolves the issue. If it doesn't, you may try these steps:

    • Press Windows key + P.
    • If your monitor settings is on Duplicate, try choosing
      Extend
      .
    • If your monitor settings is on Extend try choosing the
      Duplicate
      .
    • Check the resolution if both monitors are showing the same resolution value.

    Let us know the result for us to assist you further.

    Regards.

    Second monitor not detected after update

    Hi Tom,

    There are several reasons that could have caused the issue you are experiencing. One of these is the update you previously performed in Windows, either it was not configured properly by the system or the update components were corrupted. Kindly answer the
    following questions for clarification:

    • Have you tried updating the monitor and display drivers?
    • Have you tried to use another user profile to check if the issue re-occurs?

    Furthermore, we suggest that you add the other monitor manually. This is to ensure that the second monitor is still connected after the update. Here are the steps:

    • Type connected devices and open Connected Devices on the
      Windows Search bar.
    • Click Add devices.
    • Select the Second screen.
    • Pick one of the 3 options: Duplicate, Extend, and the Second screen only.
    • The Duplicate option will duplicate the primary display to secondary display.
    • The Extend option will unite two monitors so you can use them both as one.
    • The Second screen only option will, obviously, disable primary and use only the secondary monitor.
    • Once you’ve chosen the preferred mode, save changes.

    We're looking forward to your response.
