  1. Windows 11/ Surface Pro 7 3rd Monitor Settings Locked to "Disconnect This Display"


    I have a Microsoft Surface Pro 7 with a docking station, loaded with Windows 11 OS. For over a year, until recently I was able to run two monitors plus the display screen on the Surface Pro with no issues. Then one day my third monitor would not turn on. I tried a new VGA cable, a new HDMI cable with no luck. Since that monitor was 7 years old I assumed it must have died, went and bought a brand new monitor and I am having the same problem. I have tried the following fixes with no luck: Optimized my battery settings, power cycled both monitor and laptop, installed all updates, updated gra

  3. Issues with the display of the Surface Pro 4 in Windows 10

    Hi,

    I realize the inconvenience caused to you regarding the display of the surface pro. I will certainly assist you.

    Please answer the below question to assist you better.

    Did you make any changes in the Display settings prior to this issue?

    I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the display drivers on the system from the manufacturing website and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

    Steps to uninstall the Display Drivers.

    • Press “Windows Logo” + “X” keys on the keyboard.
    • Click on “Device Manager” from that list.
    • Search for the Display driver from the device list, right click on it and then select “Uninstall”. On the un-installation window, if you have an option: “Delete the driver software for this device” you may select that
      and then remove the corrupted drivers from the computer.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete it and then restart the computer and install the latest driver from the manufacturer website.
    I also suggest you to refer the link on How do I fix desktop app display issues? For Surface and check if it helps.

    Windows 11/ Surface Pro 7 3rd Monitor Settings Locked to "Disconnect This Display"

    When "Duplicate these Displays" is selected, external monitor displays upside down, but not the Surface Pro screen

    After Windows 10 updates were automatically installed last night, my LG external monitor displays upside down when "Duplicate these displays" is selected under Display settings. With other options (Extend these displays, or Show only on 1, or Show only
    on 2) the external monitor shows the correct orientation. PC is Surface Pro 3 with Windows 10 Pro operating system. LG monitor is 34UM95-p 34" Ultrawide IPS Monitor. Ctrl-Alt-Up or -Down do not work. Drivers are up to date. Thanks in advance
    for help/suggestions.
