How to Fix Display Monitors Not Detected in Windows Dual, Triple, QuadrupleConnected to Video Card
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2016
- In this How To Tutorial I will show you how to get Windows to find and detect multiple display monitors that can't be detected in Windows.
When right clicking on the desktop and clicking on display properties, many times dual, triple or quadruple monitors connected to video cards won't be detected.
To detect them you need to go to control panel, then click on Display. The video will show you how to find the correct location to enable additional monitors.
Very simple and easy to follow.

Sorry Andew, But the previous and the latest Build of Windows 10 (May Update 2018-Build 17134) the Display settings are limited to one monitor and the PC/Laptop screen without an option to detect another monitor. The configuration in the video was the same in Windows 7 where there so much more flexibility when configuring display settings. It seems that Microsoft is 'improving' Windows, by removing features that were benefits to those us who need more than a basic configuration. Otherwise an excellent video with great clarity and narration.
Thanks Morgan. Yes it appears things have changed since i made the video. I wonder also if Pro versions Vs. Home versions are different too now
I might be able to tell you once my other Lenovo G580 with Win 10 Vanilla version has finished trying to repair itself, it's been running for 5 days now! The one I am trying to set up with an additional monitor is the Pro version recently updated with the May 2018 update (Only took 14 hours)
so then im confused this video does go into detail about it and im thankful for that its just with the new update how do you get to display?
Wait, so are you saying with the latest Win 10 update, it won't detect a tertiary display? I'm having trouble getting my thunderbolt 3.0 connector to register dual monitors and I've seen a ton of fixes online, but none have worked. I can get both external monitors to show, but only if I use the HDMI port for the second one instead of using the Thunderbolt port for both.
One of the solutions, is to Enable the ''Internal Graphics'' on 'BIOS' for multi-screen detection', worked for me. Then use the 'extended-screen' and that's it.
After spending ages on Microsoft's website I found this by chance. Watched it, was fixed in 5 minutes, thanks very much for your help.
when i went to control panel i can not find display.
same bro
same too
Same thing with me
Do ctrl + p to pull a panel that gives you option for display then select extend. You might have to change the orientation of the screen in the first setting he showed. These two things fixed my issue since I couldn't find the display option in control panel either

Excellent! This worked for me. Sometimes when re-docking my laptop only one display is active, I used to shutdown and then turn back on. This saves LOTS of time, THANK YOU!
Great to hear jg, thank you for your comment, glad to hear the video helped.
I cant believe it was that simple to sort out, thank you.
This worked, thank you. On latest builds of Windows 10, comments below are correct about the display option missing from control panel. Just search Windows for "display" and click on "display settings". Then follow the video's instructions from there: click on the inactive monitor > under multiple displays, choose "Extend desktop to this display" > problem fixed.
Excellent!!. This helped me from an unnecessary reboot. Thanks man.
Thank you so much my friend.I have two extra monitors attached to my laptop and one suddenly went black overnight and my settings went to pot yet within 30 seconds you solved it for me.Can't thank you enough as I do work from home and need all displays.
Help me a lot! I quite appreciate it!
i normally don't post on videos but this saved me a bunch of headaches thanks man!
Great descriptive video, thanks
I can't seem to detect 3rd monitor. I have tried everything I can think of
Thank you! This really helped me solve my issue.
Thank you so much!I have been searching for a fix for a really long time!
Glad to hear it worked for you
MAN! You nailed it. Thank you. This helped where no one else's could. Appreciated.
Thank you for your comment Christopher, so glad to hear this solution fixed your issue.
I just followed you steps and it worked like a charm.. thanks for this very useful video.
Hi Namilla, so glad the video helped solve your problem with your displays. I appreciate your feedback, thank you.
Thank you! This fixed my problem.
This worked perfectly, thank you!! Problem solved.
mine looks VERY different from yours, like there is no adjust resoulution button, it just takes me back to the display stuff we had at first. and i cannot change to multiple monitors
different operating systems look different, and have different options. make sure youre running the same one if not search specifically for yours
Ⅰ think it is window 7. Ⅰ have window 10 pro
This does not help in the least.
My monitor is _not detected._ I don't need advice on how to extend my desktop...I need the monitor to appear in Display Settings _in the first place._ Because it's not there the way yours is.
have you solve your problem yet?
same as mine. does not have the option to extend display etc.
Look to see if your graphics card/ video card can run three monitors.
Ya, the title of this is entirely wrong for the content of it. No help at all.
same here
Worked perfect, best solution I have found. Thanks :)
Sure buddy everyone believes u. Display isnt even in control panel
It worked for me thanks!!
thank you very much. this fixed our problem. Your doing the lords work.
Current Window 10 doesn't show the Display in Control Panel. But I found the solution to fix is by pressing Windows key + P and it will show the Projection screen. Click Extend and the other monitor will connect.
Thank you! I think this is the solution most people are looking for!
Jonathan Byler it doesn’t
OMFG thank you so so so so so sos so much dude i was raging like crazy thx
Thanks. "Ctrl-P" > ''Second screen only'. did the trick for me, and brought my second monitor back to life.
This is absolutely the right answer for Windows 10. Thanks.
thanks mate really appreciate it. Jim
Hi great video, but on my pc I can't get to that screen where it
eventually shows the monitors, mine just goes back to the normal windows
10 display settings window. can you help me please?
Hi I had a this problem, and your steps where great.. I give u a A+
Hi, I am glad it worked for you. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work for a lto of people and I am not sure why.
*Dang, I went through those same steps before watching the video, but with no luck... The machine I'm having trouble with is using an AVI and HDMI display from a single laptop, and with Windows 7. Any other suggestions? It doesn't even detect the 3rd display (HDMI) when the 2nd (AVI) is plugged in and even when the correct settings are applied... It does however connect immediately to the 3rd display (HDMI) when the 2nd display (AVI) is unplugged.*
What if display isnt in the option under control panel?
Got the same problem
This was very helpful and it fixed the issue. Thanks!
thanks alot this worked great
But when i click on change display settings, the display settings from the beginning of the video pops up. Instead of that change of appearance page you are on in the end of the video..
same
i was hoping this was actualy going to work, but then i see that i don't have the display icon in the control pannel
same, did you manage to fix your problem? if so, how?, i know its been 4 years
The option DISPLAY is not showing on Control Panel...
It works for Windows 10. Thanks Andrew
I had 2 additional monitors set up and working, then I traveled for work, came back home and they were no longer being detected. I tried the idea in this video, and they still were not showing up via the control panel. Finally I pulled the plug on both monitors on the docking station and plugged them back in, and all was back to normal.
thnx dude it really workked
Thank you, massive legend
Thanks really helpful
it really helped us...
Hey, I have a really important question, I followed your video and my second monitor is still not working, Previously I had bought two cords, a usb-c to hdmi and a usb-c to vga adapter, and neither of them worked. Now im thinking about getting a hdmi splitter or a usb-a to hdmi. Please let me know. My laptop is an Asus Vivobook S14.
I used a VGA cable going from my dock to the third monitor. I'm sure it would work with it coming straight from a laptop as well.
You know, dude...I was skeptical, but going through the control panel was the only way my wierd Windows 7 to recognize the third screen!
What if you dont have a display settings icon in control panel?
Worked for me! Using win7 here.
FYI- my second and third monitors were not being detected and the "extend" option DID resolve my issue (while I clicked "extend", it recognized my second & third monitors as 2 & 3--not an extension of mon1). My third monitor was giving me more issues, and when I went to extend display, it gave me an error message a few times, but it finally did work. So, if you're on win7, give it more than 1 attempt.
can help me i entry in control panel and i don,t have display?
does anyone have answer to this?

Newest version of Windows 10 is 1703 which removes DISPLAY from control panel. New MS design sucks!! Now my display is blown up and customization doesn't recognize my 1920 x 1080 recommended size!!

Need help- weird picky monitor I can’t explain. I plugged my PC Graphics card HDMI output to HDTV to test- the TV can detect successfully. But when I plugged that same HDMI to the monitor, no display (says no signal). Now, I tried the on board graphics card (motherboard)- HDTV successfully detected it.. again moved to monitor, it works. So question is why my TV can detect PCI express GPU but monitor cannot? Only the onboard gpu works with monitor. Thanks!
I have the problem with my PC detecting to many monitors... I have 2, but it detects 4... If i unplug my right screen, It will sometime show my screen on the two fake screens, which means that i can't see my screen... Is there any way to get rid of these fake screens??
My 2nd monitor works i tried it with Xbox HDMi and it shows and it also shows in NVIDIA control panel where i can choose what displays to activate or not and for the 2nd monitor it shows grey instead of green. I already tried rebooting but no luck Please help :D
no resolution button and it takes me back to the beginning screen. everyone in the comments is saying the same. PLEASE HELP
Another Fix is to update your drivers go to device manager then display adapters after just right click and update the driver if it should work for some of you guys
Ur cracked!!!!
Windows 8.1 hates dual monitors and displaylink screens, the second screen defaults to a charms bar and theres no way of dragging items to it. unless anyone knows of a fix?
I have connected 1 monitor to my laptop. The display shows '1|2'. The native resolutions for the two monitors are different. How to separate the '1|2' to two displays ? Thanks
Go to multiple displays and click extend these displays
You have to turn on your monitor before your computer. Unplug them both. Turn on the monitor first. Then the computer. Works fine
It came up with a warning dialogue box that said that these changes could not be saved. Where to go from here?
Did you ever find out what went wrong or how to solve it?

What do you do if you don’t have a display option
My display settings keeps flickering between seeing 2 displays and not being there at all , and says it can’t identify monitors
I have been using one monitor for as long as iv'e had my PC. I had a 24" tv laying around and decided to hook it up to get a dual monitor display. I have an nvidia gtx 970 so it should run just fine. My GPU only has one hdmi port so I purchased an hdmi 2x1 splitter. Now I have the two monitors plugged in with 3 total hdmi cords,1 from each monitor to the splitter, and 1 to the gpu port. Windows 10 says that it can't detect another display, I have searched everywhere on the internet to solve my problem and find a single damn thing that works for me. Help woulld be much appreciated.
I don't know 100% for sure, but I would say the splitter is the issue. Your GTX should have a HDMI, DP and 2x DVI ports. What I have done in a similar case as yours it to buy DVI to HDMI adapters. Then you plug 1 monitor directly to the HDMI port, and the other 2 monitors have a HDMI cable that connects into the adapters that are inserted into the DVI ports. I'm sure that will work. You can buy them cheap off ebay...something like this www.ebay.com.au/itm/DVI-D-24-1-Dual-Link-Plug-Male-To-HDMI-Female-Gold-Converter-Adapter-SOCKET-/161109811122?hash=item2582e49fb2:g:qoYAAOxy~ilSOn6j

A lot of people have given this a thumbs down because Windows updated their menus since this video was made. For anyone not getting the "display" icon in the control panel, Go to your desktop and click "personalize". Thanks for the howto, fixed my problem (and I have the newer menu not present in your video).
My 2nd and 3rd displays are stuck mirroring each other. It does not detect display 3. I am using an HDMI splitter. Signal present on all screens, but I want monitor 3 to be it's own space; not a duplication of monitor 2. help please? windows 10.
I'm doing the same thing and have the same problem. Hope you figured yours out!
Have you find solution? I can not connect 3rd or 4th monitor i had connected before this upgrade I did to win 10. terrible
what if i dont have the display icon in Control Panel?
Thank you very much sir. Solved my problem. Brilliant.
The easiest way to go that option right click on the desktop and then display settings than came you at the same menu by laptop users is that but by desktop user I don't know that
no this dident resovl my problem i need this for windos 10 2019
Also you should specify the system you're using because this does not work in 10.
I cannot find the screens on Windows 7. I have an inbuilt screen above my keyboard on my asus zenbook and it was turned off in an online exam by a proctur. Now I cannot turn it back on and am scouring the internet for help.
he has some old Windows version, Microsoft has completely removed old Windows display settings, this is horrible as I don't need second screen just the second gpu, will have to look for some deep hacks now
I'm currently going through the same issues. I don't see the Display Icon the way it's shown in this video. I did driver updates and all...

this saves you 15 min of your life just go to display and scroll down where it says dulpicate these screens and switch to extend In advance Your Welcome
What happens if you don't have a display option in your control panel ? mine was missing.
mine is missing too - Did you find a solution ?
yea i dont have display settings in my control pannel....
This helped me and i am a tech by trade lol
This does not work for me. When I select the third monitor and click extend, it displays on the 3rd but the 2nd one goes off.
Same problem after updating to windows 10. I was having 4 monitors on windows 8.1 once I updated to 10 I have not been able to set 3 or 4 monitors like before. Have you found a solution?
Improper title for this video. If it's not detected, when you go to Change Display Settings, guess what won't show since it is...not detected.

I think my dvi cord just went bad maybe. because my 3rd monitor doesn't show up at all.

I have a funny problem on win 10. My TV is being detected as monitor, and monitor being detected as second display. How can I make it vice versa?
This video doesn’t work for laptops ..he said he had a separate video card to run his 3rd display ..
Why is my computer detecting 3 monitors even though I only have 2?
Because windows sucks. I wish Gates would make it work vs trying to jab everyone with his vax poison.
