    Windows 10 wont extend to 2nd external monitor, but works if only 1 is linked


    I've got a Lenovo ThinkPad core i7vpro, using a WAVLINK USB3.0 2K Display Adapter, that supports HDMI, DVI, and VGA independent screens. If I use one at a time, or HDMI + VGA, it can identify and extend to each. However, if I do VGA + DVI, the DVI only duplicates the VGA, it doesn't identify to extend to it anymore. Admittedly, all 3 external monitors are older, but they all work to solo extend, or dual extend, except the VGA and DVI together. I have 3 display adapters available, Intel R UHD Graphics, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti, and USB Display Adapter, all 3 are up to date. Please help as I'

    External monitors extending issue.

    I am trying to connect 6 external monitors to my laptop running on windows 10. I am using DVI-D dual-link to HDMI cable to connect the monitors to the HDMI splitter and HDMI to HDMI cable to connect the splitter to the laptop. There
    is just one problem when I am extending the screens, the external monitors seem to duplicate themselves rather than extend. So instead of 1 to 7 for all monitors combined, all my laptop only detects 1 and 2. 1 being my laptop and 2 being all the other external
    6 monitors. That means that all the external monitors showing me the same thing as in they duplicate and not extend. Any suggestion on it can be fixed so all the external monitors become the extension of my main laptop and do not duplicate?
