This literally saved me, Sir. Thank you so much! My problem was that my computer screen was broken and my display screen was stuck on an extended screen. I clicked on my settings to change it, right-clicked the screen, and clicked on display settings to change it, even tried asking Cortana but the open tabs weren't showing up on my extended Monitor and I didn't know how to fix it. After browsing for solutions on a different device, I finally came upon your video. I tried the Windows+p short cut and moved my cursor blindly on the monitor's side and clicked. And I got back to duplicate screen. It was so simple I felt a bit silly for being so anxious. Why couldn't I have known this sooner?
I wish I could give more than one thumbs up for this video!!! The title explains LITERALLY EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO KNOW. Windows + P shortcut is something I never knew, and I am very acquainted with windows 10. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE WINDOWS + P. I once dropped my laptop and it went broken so i bought a new monitor. Then i went to extend screen and i saw the broken screen so i couldnt change it back. I pressed windows + p and clicked around and it went on the right one. Tysm
You are a life savor i broke my laptop screen and wanted to use a monitor i could not see what was happening on my laptop screen this helped me alot. God bless you. Man. I was really getting worries.
My friend my laptop is broken too and i press the win key + p but nothing happend my monitor is connected to laptop but nothing happend what can i do for that?
@@snobcraftpvp5560 Your friend have windows 10 on laptop? Because win key + p work only on 10. If your friend have other system try to use FN key (next key to left control usually) + F8.
Thank you very much. You literally saved my life I mean by job. When I'm using the duplicate monitor I accidentally pressed the PC only which is having totally black screen. Like a blind I pressed many keys but nothing changed. I watch many videos to find the short cuts. I finally found this. Without seeing the screen I was able to switch to the second monitor. Thank you again.
I have never used this before, but my professor brought it up in class the other day. Now I get to give my Ampere-hour rating presentation and impress her. Thanks!
Thank you so much! This helped me recover my tablet's screen "in the blind" when I was locked out from it due to mucking about with an external monitor. Thanks!
Thank you very much. It saves my day. My laptop screen was broken and I depend entirely on my pc screen. I mistakenly switched to laptop screen only and was looking for a IT person to fix this problem but thanks to your video it really saves my day
Yes! This works so great when I have one monitor turned off or switched to a different input. The Display Settings menu always seems to pop up on the window that I can't see. I was happy to learn about the WIN + arrow keys to move it to my active monitor, but this is like the full meal deal. Thank you for sharing! Very nice concise demonstration as well.
Omg your a life saver dude! I had a broken laptop screen and a moniter in an trying to make my moniter as main but it's was not working but you are a genius my and now my moniter is main screen. You are the best ;))
I had my gaming pc plugged up to my TV and monitor at the same time. It was extended to my monitor and main desktop to TV. Honestly I was too lazy to go to my TV to change settings and or unplug the hdmi cord. So you saved me 5 steps, so thank you.
This came up as the first answer in a Google search and I appreciate this was titled in such a way that I didn't have to watch the video to find out what to do. I clicked the google link anyway just to thank you. Seems like a huge oversight on Microsoft's part that you apparently can't access the display settings from the search bar, or that the display settings screen doesn't mention the Windows key + P key for this stuff. Some of the games I play don't like to be minimized to let you access the desktop and change the GPU settings with a right click.
Thank you very much for the short cut keys.. My windows 10 got converted in duplicate mode automatically.. Many many problems I was facing.. From short cut option I could reconfigure it.. Now all are ok.. Thank you once again
Thank you! Whenever I plugged in my second display, both displays went black. Even though I wasn't able to see the screen, I followed the shortcut instructions and got them both configured properly now.
THANK YOU SIR THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH ,I REALLLY HAD THIS ISSSUE FOR A LONG TIME ,I HAVE SET MY RESOLUTION SO HIGH AND MY PC TURNES BLACK ,SO I COULDNT SEE ANYTHING ON MY SECOND MONITOR ,THANKS TO YOU I FIXED THIS PROBLEM❤
You saved me. I was playing around and messed mine up and I was wondering why is my laptop showing only the left side of the screen. I set it back to default thanks to you.
my problem is I switched to second screen only to my LG smart tv and my computer screen goes blank so no way to change it back to duel screen using Miracast
You are the greatest. Thank you very much. I had selected Second screen only and lost all image. Did Windows+P and got image again. Thank you very much.
Help me i just reseted my laptop but the problem is my laptop display doesn't work so i use with external display now when i reseted it my laptop not showing any thing in my external display waht do i do.?
Sr. I would like to know how tu put my laptop on my tv. Bad news is that me pc is broken. And I cant see anything. I cant even see the settings. And it is lock with a picture lock. I dont know if its opening the option like you for the second screen
Hi... Please can you help in a situation that happens to me, which i have now my desktop want to the external monitor and my laptop screen is showing nothing. even when i try to unplug the hdmi cable or try to change the Win+p options .... any ideas please
@@everythingaboutknowledge2073 Just follow the instructions 1.) Turn on your PC / laptop 2.) Wait till it turns on (it shows the windows icon 3.) Press the key combination in the video above that is (window key +P) and then press the 'up arrow '×2 and press enter Your laptop/PC would perform these functions as it is the monitor which is sleeping 😊
Thank you so so much you saved my life I accidentally extended my screen while my laptop's screen is broken which pluged my laptop to the tv and i was trippin' lol thank you soooo much
I connected main monitor via HDMI to graphic card and another monitor via VGA to Mother board. When I start duplicate screen, the 2nd display is turning off.
No one can ever answer whats actually important, I'm only using mine AS a laptop for some dumb reason, every time I unlock or lift the screen up its default is "PC SCREEN ONLY" and that starts the screen rotated left, instead of set up like a laptop should be like a wide screen tv or computer, I need the default to be "EXTEND" How do I switch it so I never have to hit the f10 button and switch it to extend again
The Windows key + P key shortcut shown in the video will work with a system with three total displays, such as a laptop's internal display and two external displays. However, in a triple display configuration the shortcut does not provide any additional customization options beyond what is demonstrated. For example, when the 'PC screen only' option is selected, the laptop's internal display will remain on, but the two external displays will be turned off. If the 'Duplicate' mode is selected, the internal laptop display will be duplicated to the first external display while the second external display will be in 'Extend' mode (this is because Windows can only duplicate to one display). If 'Extend' mode is selected, all displays will function in extended mode. If the 'Second screen only' option is selected, the internal laptop display will turn off and the two external displays will default to 'Extend' mode. If more configuration options are required, then it will be necessary to use the Windows 'Display Settings' application to configure the displays.
@@Plugable ya that's what I don't like is second screen only should be second screen only not extended...do u know of any third party software that could handle this better?
I got a broken laptop screen, im pairing with a monitor but only the broken screen of laptop shows picture ( cracks ) and the monitor is just all black, it worked like a week ago but now its broke? Help me please
A try to do the things you said but my laptop screen is in pc screen only and when I try to select another it doesn't work.I also tried the windows button +p but still the same.How can I fix it @plugable?Plus your using a two computers
I have a big problem on "extend these display" my laptop and my monitor are not the same resolution so that my second monitor it turns into no signal and my laptop screen turns into my second monitor. How to fix it sir? Please help me
When I change the option and leave the projection pane it goes back to the pc screen only setting! I have 2 monitors and it's just duplicating on both screens.
inside the display settings on Multiple displays,there is no "'duplicate displays'' option.And using windows+p, clicking duplicate from extend doesn't show any changes.Why so??
Just incase if you are having two monitors and one of the monitors showing black screen everytime you change to another HDMI port (change to your desired HDMI port then do the below) 1. Win+P and select second screenonly 2. Win+P and select Extend NOTE: you may need to do the above steps blind-folded if the black-screen-issue monitor is the primary screen.
I have 3 screens at all times and Win+P was a great feature but it stopped functioning recently. Win+P second monitor only still shows 2 monitors. Just a couple months ago it was working fine, where primary or second would only show 1 screen now its showing 2, what could have happened?
Hi sir! Do you know how will I get rid of that project screen? It's keep popping on both sides of my laptop's screen. I'm having a difficult time to use my laptop properly because of that thing. I hope you could help me, thank you.
Hey i need help i cant switch the modes idk why i have my screen running no problem its just that a i cant change it to second screen only or anything it will just let me back to pc screen only pls help me
how do you show the camera screen and the displays on the youtube video? How do i get a subwindow to display both by ipad camera as well as my powerpoint and record it?
We used OBS Studio (obsproject.com/) to record the internal laptop display and the input of a separate USB video capture card connected to camcorder's HDMI video output to create this video.
How do you get the duplicate option to be the default? It’s constantly defaulting back to the default setting in the middle of doing a presentation using a projector, that I toggle between two programs; PowerPoint and Media player, or anything else, actually!
Thank you for the great video sir but why my laptop setting is still on PC screen only mode😭, I pressed duplicate but it just wont change and still be in PC screen only mode
