Windows 10: Using 3 monitors with Docking Station

Hello,

I have a user set up on a Windows 10 laptop. They are utilizing a docking station and when it is hooked up, we have to adjust the display so they can use the laptop with 2 additional monitors. We have to change the second monitor to "Extend this display". When they un-dock and re-dock the laptop, the settings revert back to the single monitor and we have to change the settings on the other monitor every time. Is there a registry setting where I can tie the monitor to the adapter so I do not have to make this change every time? Any information is much appreciated, I have been skimming the registry for this and found a couple spots where this could possibly be done.

Thank you!

:)

Hi,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

• 
  Make sure the power light for the docking station is on
  
• 
  Make sure the monitor is getting power
  
• 
  Make sure the cable is connected properly to the monitor
  
• 
  Unplug and reconnect the Mini-DVI adapter on the back of your docking station
  
• 
  Try flipping the connector for the adapter over (turns out some adapters can go in upside-down)
  
• 
  Take the Surface out of the docking station then put it back in
  
  
  

Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

 

Windows Powershell- Detect Docking Stations and attached monitors

SP 3, Docking Station, HDMI Output, Windows 10

Ahh ...

But this is a Surface Pro 3, and I only have one, so there is no way to "try a different computer".

However, the docking station:

• Supplies power to the SP3
• Supplies the connected ( line in ) internet to the SP3
• The USB ports work properly on the docking station and can be viewed on the SP3

So, by a process of elimination, the only thing that does not work is the video port on the SP3 since the cable works when plugged into the SP3, but not when plugged into the docking station. Everything else is as it should be.

Perhaps I might point out one other small contradiction to your response. If you look at this forum, although my specific problem is not referenced, there are several reports of problems using external monitors with the docking station ... so to say it
has no problems may be quite inaccurate.

Perhaps someone else can provide suggestions for what I can check. And yes, it did work fine with Windows 8.1.
