    Unable to Change projection mode from "PC screen only" to any other mode in Windows 11


    My projection mode is set to "PC screen only" and I'm not able to switch to any other mode.I use Win+P key then change the project mode to "Duplicate" and close the settings, again press Win+P key, it automatically switches back to "PC screen only", so basically it doesn't change at all. Somebody could help me please?

    :)

  2. Change Projection mode - mirror pc to TV

    I can mirror my WIN 10 PC screen to Samsung TV with no problem. But I accidentally clicked "2nd Monitor" - so my PC is blank while mirroring. And I can not reset the projection mode for the PC screen to be visible again ("Duplicate Mode") because that
    setting requires I can see my PC screen to click the setting. I need to be able to change back the projection mode from 'second monitor' to duplicate-mode but from a configuration menu, not the actual mirrored screen. Where can I find this? Many thanks.

  3. projection mode - flashing screen

    Thank you for the information. Since you’ve already tried to rollback to a previous version of the driver, we suggest checking the settings if the device is set to Tablet mode. To do so, please follow these steps.



    • Access device settings by typing Settings using Cortana’s search bar.
    • On settings, choose System.
    • Select Tablet mode on the options.
    • Please make sure that under When I sign in, the option is set to Use desktop mode.


    Keep us posted regarding the concern and if further assistance is necessary.

    Unable to boot the PC, stuck in recovery mode screen​

    Hi Joe,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you are unable to boot the PC normally as it is stuck in recovery mode.



    1. Were there any recent updates installed on the PC?
    2. What is the exact make and model of the PC?


    I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below and check if that helps.



    Method 1:



    Boot the PC into safe mode with networking and check if you are able to login. Refer the article to

    Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10
    , refer the section
    From a black or blank screen.



    Method 2:



    Perform a system restore to revert the PC back to the state when everything was working fine. Refer the article

    Recovery options in Windows 10
    , refer the section
    Use installation media to restore or reset your PC.



    Note:
    Do not reset the PC; resetting the PC will remove all the data and installed programs from the PC.



    We await your response.



    Regards,
