    When I am in display settings and I go to "detect" two of my monitors are showing up as one monitor how do I separate this? Also when I say extend to desktop it just reverts it back to duplicate. How do I get this to prevent from happening it just reverts back to duplicate even though I clearly choose extend!? Thank you.

    :)

    Laptop display does not detect itself

    Hi,

    In regards to your concern, since the second screen can't detect the display settings of your other laptop, we suggest that you perform the steps below and see if it helps:

    • Go to Settings.
    • Click on System.
    • Under System, choose Display.
    • Under Multiple displays, click on Duplicate these displays and apply.
    Let us know the details so we could further help.
