    Secondary Displays won't appear after the computer restarts or goes to sleep.


    Hello all,I have an issue when after restarting my SurfacePro Win11 machine, the two secondary displays won't open. Looking in the display settings, I can see the two displays are on "Disconnect this display" status. Trying to change it to Extend the monitor to this display will revert it back to disconnect this display.In order to fix it, I need to unplug it from the docking station and plug it back in. With Win10 I didn't had this issue.Are there any settings that can be done or something that I'm missing?Thank you!

    :)

    Display goes to sleep

    If all power option settings are set to Never, but your display still goes to sleep or turns off after a period of inactivity, it could be that the screensaver settings are turned on or configured to turn off the display. May we know if you have checked
    the screensaver settings of your computer? If not, here's how to check the screensaver settings in Windows 10:

    • Press the Start button, then type screensaver, then select it from the search results.
    • See if the screensaver is enabled.

    If the issue is not resolved, do not hesitate to post back to us.

    Windows Laptop Goes to Sleep When Playing League on Secondary Display with Lid Closed

    I have an HP spectre x360. When I play League of Legends on the secondary display with the lid closed, the laptop goes to sleep.

    I have changed the power settings and set the action of "when I close the lid" to "do nothing" for both on battery and plugged in. I do not have problem with watching youtube vids in full screen mode. I also tried to run the game in windowed mode, it didn't
    make a difference. OS goes to sleep after about 2 mins into the game.

    When I just open the lid but with the projection setting set to "secondary display only" and the built-in display completely off, the issue went away. I have no clue is this a design choice or a bug.

    Helps appreciated.
