Hello bumped upon this video, i was wondering if you can tell me why my arrange display by dragging option doesn't appear? Also when i have both my monitors plugged they both show the same mirrored image

[@HowToFix86]

There's an option for you to duplicate or extend, you need to select extend. Right click on your desktop and select on Display Settings

[@hatred2360]

i have a sort of the same issue as this except my monitor that is not detected shows up under "other devices." I have tried every step in this video and my issue remains.

[@HowToFix86]

Try to use a different port, unplug and replug. Check the device manager if its detected

[@hatred2360]

@@HowToFix86 i plugged it into a different port and tried unplugging and replugging and it still shows up under "other devices" instead of monitors.

workeddddddddddddddddddd thanks

It doesn't seem to even react from the cable connection, and the drivers should be nvidia.

I'm trying to connect 2 monitors at my laptop. One using HDMI and another one with USB C.
If I connect any monitors with HDMI it works fine. If I try using USB C, the monitor is not detected. I checked and the USB C support video output.

[@HowToFix86]

Check if both are detected, else you can check the device manager if its getting error

[@PeterKirk-ij6qg]

Did not work for me sadly. After Windows sleeps, it loses the monitor and does not find it again.

[@HowToFix86]

Just try to replug the cable and that will fix the issue

[@pennytaylor7313]

This hasn't worked for me. ;(

[@HowToFix86]

Any error?
