Windows 10: Setting secondary monitor to top-bottom configuration by default

Hi. I am working in hot desk environment where each desk has a docking station with an external monitor. When I sit at a desk that I've never sat before the external monitor is automatically added to my desktop as the right screen (Screen 1 Screen 2 configuration). However I need to change it to
Screen 2
Screen 1

configuration because the laptop is placed below the external monitor. Is there a way to change in the display settings or registry to force it to top-bottom configuration so every desk I use it will be always this configuration?


Thanks.

Setting Up A Older Secondary Monitor


ok decided to reopen in the hopes someone might have a solution for a new issues i noticed. when i do a restart the secondary monitor takes over, and not until windows is about to go to the desktop does the secondary monitor turn off and the primary display turn on. i would think there is some way to make the default monitor stay on during a reboot. any suggestion would be great. thanks

I have three monitors. How I can set the default secondary display?

Hi,

Using a monitor that has a plug and play features is always ready to use. In order to make multiple monitors usable, you need to extend your display to them and make sure that all devices were plugged in properly and detected by your computer. You can follow
the steps below to enable all your monitors:

• Make sure that you close all your programs.
• Press Windows + P to open the project settings.
• Select Extend to make all your monitors viewable and connected to each other.
• Once you see that all your displays are active, right-click the monitor’s desktop and configure the
  Display settings. Select which one should be the primary, secondary and tertiary display.
• Click Apply.
• Click Keep changes to finish.
