  1. Second Monitor is first and first(main) Monitor is second.


    I have looked pretty much all Day for an answer to my question, but havent been able to find one.

    So the thing is, I have two monitors and I have had them for a few years. My Main monitor has always been the second monitor for whatever reason but it have never been a problem since I have just put it to main, and it acts as my main monitor, but now I want to use my main monitor only, but I cant since whenever I set it to single monitor, it is always the second monitor which is in use.

    So my question is this. How do I change my monitors from first to second, and second to first.

    -Thanks

  2. Second Monitor

    I connected a monitor to my Inspiron Laptop. The second monitor displays the same info as the lap top. When I go to settings it will not detect the monitor. I have upgraded all the drivers. Any suggestions?

  3. Second Monitor

    Hi David,



    Some of the advantages of having multiple screens (dual monitor) are it increases your productivity or it allows you to do multitasking. When awaking your PC after putting it to sleep, it will be directed at the sign in page. Normally,
    the second monitor will just reflect black screen and the main monitor will reflect the sign in page. After signing in, your second monitor will automatically open if it is turned on.



    If the second monitor doesn’t turn on, we recommend that you run the
    Power troubleshooter by following these steps:



    • Click the Start button, then type Control Panel and then press Enter.
    • 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 pane.
    • Run the Power troubleshooter.


    If the issue persists, kindly refer to the resolution provided by breadbox88 in this thread and
    check if it will help you with the issue.



    Update us with the outcome.
