Windows 10: Windows 10 - no support for 3 monitors

This is the same question as on the following thread:


https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...monitors/7766e5db-d289-4a2c-af46-952577c45dd5


Has there been any resolution? My situation is the same as they described - verified that I know how to extend my display doing ever since Windows 7... , my graphics adapter supports multiple monitors, I have the latest drivers, my monitors, ports and cables are all working fine. The only thing left is Windows 10. Has there been a resolution?


Thanks!


P.S. I notice that there is no appropriate topic for this post, so I chose the closest I could find.

Does Windows 10 Support 3 monitors?

Hi Chuck,



As per the description, you are experiencing issue with you want to know Does Windows 10 support 3 monitors because you are able to see the display on 2 monitors but the third one is grayed out.



I certainly understand your concern.

There could be a possibility that this issue might have occurred due to outdated display drivers or corrupted drivers on the system.

I would suggest you to try the following methods and check if that helps.



Method 1:

Run inbuilt Hardware & Device troubleshooter
