  1. Swap PC Screen Only with Second Screen Only


    "Project > PC Screen Only" projects to my TV."Project > Second Screen Only" projects to my PC screen.I would like to change which output is considered "PC" and which is considered "Second"I do not want to change which monitor is considered primary in "Project > Extend". This problem will not be solved by selecting "Make this my main display" in display settings. If you are about to suggest that solution don't bother. You don't understand the question.This thread on the topic was closed in 2017 with no solution:https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/swap-pc-screen-only-w

  2. Swap PC Screen Only with Second Screen Only.

    Thank You for getting back to me.

    That only works for when you are Extending screen between displays.

    Even so, I did try one more time in "PC screen only" and "Second screen only". In both cases, the tick option to "Make this my main display" is greyed out.

    But again, thank you for getting back to me so quick.

  4. Swap PC Screen Only with Second Screen Only

    Project Second screen constantly appearing.

    Hi Norga,

    Thank you for using Windows 10.

    Let us know some more information so that we can diagnose and troubleshoot the issue in a better way:

    • what is the exact issue that you want us to help with? Do you want to get help in projecting a second screen or to remove the popup?
    • As you've said " I tried unsuccessfully to project a screen", do you wish to project a second screen currently?
    • What happened exactly when you tried to project a second screen? Did you receive any error message or any error code?
    The popup comes as the system might not be able to detect the monitors. I suggest you to update the Display drivers, it may force the system to detect the available monitors. Here is the steps:

    • Press “Windows + X” and select Device manger.
    • Locate the driver and expand the driver icon.
    • Right click on the driver icon and click on Update.

    Reply with the information and we'll be happy to assist you.
