  1. Second Monitor trouble


    I have 2 main problems that are probably connected. I use a laptop as my pc and connected a second monitor (aka the problem).


    1: Every application magnifies on the second monitor, even the minute things become bigger and more compact. For example, in Fl studio, all the windows are bigger and they compact.

    2. (This happens more on games) To combat the magnifications on some of the applications I make them smaller by dragging each side, as you do. And even then, when I drag it onto the second monitor and try to make it full screen it just goes back to the main monitor.


    I can make a short video if it helps at all.

    :)

  3. Second monitor screen resolution problem

    Hi,

    For us to properly isolate the issue with your second monitor screen resolution, we would like to know the following:


    • Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue (e.g., updates, software installation)?

    • When did the issue first begin?

    • To make sure that we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you try resetting your monitor settings, and check if the issue still persists. You may refer to your monitor on how to reset it.

    We look forward to your response.

  4. Second Monitor trouble

    Issues while installing a second monitor in Windows 10

    Really? I get a canned answer and nothing else? I posted that I had tried everything that I could find posted online. I did read the post that Andre suggested multiple times prior to posting this request for help. None of it helped.

    My computer does not recognize that there is a second monitor is plugged in. The small step of changing the settings so I can put stuff on the second monitor ISN'T the issue. I am not that dumb. in the device manager there is only the single monitor listed
    at one point there was a unknown device listed but my computer did not know if it was a monitor or a printer.

    There has to be someone out there that knows how to fix this

    Please Help
