    Windows will not activate third Monitor. Remains black


    Nvidia 4090 - Windows 11. Windows 11 recognizes the three monitors but will only activate two. When I turn off one monitor, the third monitor will come on. Windows is only allowing two monitors to be active at a time. I have tried everything including deleting the display cache, switching cables, and different ports, powering up the monitors one at a time, and turning off g-sync. All didn't work.

    :)

    Any portable Windows tool that monitors activities on a specific HDD?

    Seeking advice on a (preferably) portable Windows tool that shows all activities and / or processes that are accessing a specific HDD.
    When launching WIndows' Resource Monitor (tab 'Disk') it will show activities on -all- drives. AFAIK there is no way to 'limit' thge display of activities just for one drive out of the list.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Hi Frank,

    Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    I understand the you have tried to resolve the issue and tried many steps. I really appreciate your efforts in resolving this issue. As you have mentioned that switching the cables make both the monitor
    work so I believe its not the driver issue. I would suggest you to try connecting another cable and check if the issue persists.

    Below is the Microsoft help article on How to connect a second monitor/ Multi monitors.

    Note: The steps for Windows 8/8.1 applies to Windows 10.

    If you are facing black screen issue on the second monitor I suggest you to refer to the below thread and follow the steps given:

    Redirecting

    Hope this will fix the issue, if not let us know with the updated status and we will be happy to assist you further.

    Thank You.
