Windows 10: Unable to extend to 3 monitor on Windows 10,

So, I have just upgraded my hardware from an Intel i3-4160, to an i5-11400, which includes a motherboard and RAM change.My graphics card has stayed the same, a GTX 1650 Super.Upon the first post, the monitor was working fine, however, once the system hit the Windows Login screen, the monitor stopped responding. I tried to restart, I checked the cable, no issue there.I looked in the display settings, and its showing the monitor as there, but under the Multiple Displays Tab, its showing "Disconnect this display", and wont allow me to swap it back to extend. Instead, the pc freezes for 2 seconds,

Extend Display to second and third monitors

Hi Ian,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I appreciate the efforts taken by you in resolving the issue. I understand that you are unable to extend the display to second or third monitor. I’ll certainly assist you with the issue.



However, it would be great if you can help us with the details requested below:

• What happens when you try to extend the display?
  
• Do you receive any error message/code?
  
• Are you aware of any changes made to the computer recently?
  
• Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? To check type:
  winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
  Enter.
  
• What is the make and model of the laptop?
  

Ideally, to extend the display we can use the shortcut Windows logo key + P, and select
Extend from the menu.



I would suggest you to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the article

Troubleshoot external monitor connections in Windows 10 and see if that helps.



For additional information, see
Set up dual monitors on Windows 10.



Let us know the results.

Unable to extend monitor display

Hi Jay Jap,

thanks again for your reply.

I checked the screen resolution settings through windows and then through the Nvidia graphics cards.

Windows detected both monitors but Nvidia settings didn't.

I downloaded and installed the Nvidia drivers again and it's working fine. Simple solution, not sure why I had to install the drivers again? But thanks for your help, your suggestion to check if the monitors were being detected prompted me that it had to
be a graphics card issue.

 

Windows 10 with 3 Monitors

I had 3 monitors working fine in Windows 7, but just upgraded to Windows 10 and can now only get 2 of the 3 monitors to work.

Windows shows 3 monitors in System->Display, but only lets me extend my desktop to any 2 of the 3 monitors. It gives a message saying "The display settings could not be saved. Please try a different combination of display settings." when hitting Apply to
extend the desktop to a 3rd monitor. I can use any 2 of my 3 displays, so they're all connecting and working with the graphics card.

I'm using an Asus R7 250x graphics card, and have installed all of the latest drivers. Windows 10 also has all updates.

I would appreciate any suggestions.
