So next, right click on desktop and select Graphic Properties to get the Intel Graphics Control Panel. There you can check if there are multiple displays listed and/or if you can activate some. For me, there was just one.
Finally, right click on desktop and select NVIDIA Control Panel. Again, check in the multiple displays section, how many displays are listed and if any can be reactivated. For me, there were two and one of them could be activated.
I had a similar problem with NVidia driver. After upgrading to Win 10, only one monitor was working but the NVidia graphics card was not recognized in device manager. I tried to uninstall the driver installed for Win 8.1 in vain. Uninstaller said it couldn't uninstall any Nvidia-related software without any information on the reason.
After repeating reboot a couple of times, I went to device manager and updated driver of the Nvidia graphics card using internet and rebooted again. That did it for me. All four monitors are working alright now. I didn't even have to reinstall CUDA toolkit for the new driver.
BTW, main reason I upgraded to Win 10 was that I can have %^&* Start menu back again. But to my surprise, the upgrading process was very smooth - I didn't even have to reinstall my software packages again - except for the display driver. mess.
I tried every suggestion found throughout the world wide web (driver updates, settings, cables, miraculous utilities, etc.) and finally found my solution. I have 2 LG 24" monitors currently. I had already experience the issue of a 2nd monitor not working when the 2nd monitor was my older 19" LG LCD monitor. I fixed once by luck.
It turned out that an LG utility called "Dual Solutions" was loaded up and running in the system tray. When I clicked it, it displayed extended monitors, only it showed it for an even shorter amount of time (1 sec).
I uninstalled the utility via Control Panel/Add Remove programs, and viola! Problem fixed after over 2 weeks of searching and trying various 'solutions'. Now I am enjoying 2 LG 24" LCD monitors running extended display using DVI to HDMI conversion cables (HDMI connection at monitor end).
I have a desktop setup with four monitors - two powered by an AMD Radeon HD 7700 and two powered by the on-board Intel HD 4000. After I upgraded to Windows 10, the Intel monitors were black. Windows didn't recognize the Intel HD 4000 display adapter.
What I did to get them going is install the Windows 7 driver for the Intel HD 4000. I found the driver on the disk that came with the Motherboard (I could have downloaded it too) and installed it using Device Manager. Once I did this, my monitors work.
A couple of things to note. First, for some reason I cannot update the Intel driver to the Windows 10 version (the one you are using). I've tried everything but it just won't update. Second, I tried using the Win 8.1 driver for Intel HD 4000 and it causes an infinite loop of BSODs. Only the Win 7/8 (they are the same) driver worked for me.
I have a dual-monitor setup with my laptop (Intel i7-4700HQ with Intel HD Graphics 4600, NVIDIA GeForce GT 745M) and upgraded from Windows 8.1 to 10. My laptop screen flickered all the time, even with the cable unplugged. In the end, the problem lies in the Intel display driver. Updating to the new Intel display driver for Windows 10 solved the problem. Reinstalling the latest NVIDIA driver doesn't help, since the desktop or in general Windows is rendered with the Intel HD Graphics.
My laptop has intel HD4600 which after upgrading to Win 10 was not willing to use more than one screen. Besides the two external monitors, it detected 4 (four!) additional non-existing screens, but only one displayed content. The current installed Win10 driver was 154028.4501 with release date of Aug 12, 2016. I downgraded the driver to the previous version (release date of 17th June, 2016) and every thing is fine.
If i choose NVIDIA On-Demand from the NVIDIA settings, it works on all monitors. But it's terribly slow. So i switched to NVIDIA (Performance Mode) but then only one external monitor is working and the other one can't be enabled.
Before considering troubleshooting options, make sure your device is up to date. Select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update , then select Check for updates. If you need help setting up your external monitors, see How to use multiple monitors in Windows 10.
Display drivers must be implemented without using global variables. All state must exist in the PDEV for a particular display driver. GDI will call DrvEnablePDEV for every hardware device extension that is created by the video miniport driver.
To track window changes in a multiple-monitor system, a driver can request GDI to create WNDOBJ objects with desktop coordinates. The driver does this by calling EngCreateWnd using the flag WO_RGN_DESKTOP_COORD. See Tracking Window Changes for more information.
I have an Asus UX501J that use Intel HD Graphics 4600. Usually I connect 2 extra monitors. Today I came back to my computer and all displays was in chaos. My main screen was in 4K duplicated with some other screen that do not exist. In total my driver is telling me I have 7 monitors. See my screen dump. No use to update the driver. This is the latest.
Could you please let us know the driver version you are running? Please go to Device Manger> Display adapters> Intel(R) HD Graphics right click on Properties and then go to Driver, you will be able to see the version installed.
/thread/110642 jmadeja, if the issue persists after the installation of the driver mentioned above please provide your DxDiag report, you will find the instructions below. There is one more thing I would like to check; are currently using Hyper-V?
After short installation I got the message that this is wrong driver for my computer or something like that. Unfortunately I was not able to read the whole message or copy it for you, as all my monitors went black couple seconds later. I waited for couple minutes, but nothing happened.
1) I do not have Intel Graphic Control Panel. I am configuring my monitors with Windows Display Settings. I have tried to install Intel Graphic Control Panel, but all I get is "The driver is now being installed is not validated for this computer. Obtain the correct driver from the computer manufacturer."
3) I turned off Hyper-V, and after restart all looks correct. Now I only have 3 monitors. So the problem must be some kind of new conflict between Hyper-V and Intel drivers. My Hyper-V was enabled for a year or so, but my problems started a week ago.
I can add that I have the same problem. On an Asus UX501 here too. Display Settings lists monitors 12, 5, 6 and 7 (I have two monitors attached to my laptop, so it should be 1,2,3). Disabling Hyper-V (by stopping and disabling the service) did not help. I had to perform a system restore. Sad.
I'm also interested in when an official update will be released. It's been over a month since the last post from Intel to this thread? Any ETA? Also, I'm curious why the new driver version number is jumping back from 20.19.15.x to 15.40.x.x (if I'm reading the above correctly). If the new-and-improved driver has a lower version number how do we keep Microsoft from repeatedly installing the defective version over it?
Yes, it has been a long time since the problem was found, they also said that the problem was solved with the internal drivers, that it was just a matter of time for the driver to be released.......but there haven't been news about it.
My results the same as Julio - still have phantom monitors and I cannot open the Intel HD Graphics control panel. Executing GfxUIex.exe, Gfxv2_0.exe or Gfxv4_0.exe results in nothing. Also tried "as administrator". No errors, just looks like it will run but get nothing.
As far as I can tell from the information provided about the APU, the main benefit of the new APU is to address issues with AMD OpenGL performance. As Vulkan outperforms OpenGL in the majority of emulators, the new APU driver shouldn't really benefit most people that dramatically beyond the Citra emulator which exclusively uses OpenGL (I think).
If you don't want to use multiple monitors, you are better off with the new APU driver. If you want to use multiple monitors or experience issues with the new APU, you can download the old APU driver here = -packages.steamos.cloud/misc/windows/drivers/APU_220520a-377788E-2206021014.zip
I keep both the old and new APU installation files in a folder on my Steam Deck to switch between the two as needed. I just thought others may find this useful as I've not seen the old APU driver being posted on this subreddit before.
I recently upgraded to a Sapphire RX 7900 XT Gaming 20GB GDDR from an old NVIDIA GTX 970 and been having issues. The crash behaves as following: Black screen on both monitors and then a driver timeout (amdwddmg not responding). The crash frequency depends. Sometimes 5min of gaming, sometimes I can play for longer (in all games). I found out that having two monitors make me crash because whenever I play with 1 screen, it results in no problems. (I tried both of my monitors on their own, no problem so far).
The CCS-PRO4 & CCS-PRO8 can support up to 16 monitors per host computer and relies on the host computer supporting an absolute mouse driver for Free-Flow to work. For the CCS-PRO to work with more than one monitor, a MUMO (Multi-monitor) Free-Flow driver must be installed on the host computer. The Windows driver is available to download from the Adder website.
From Windows MUMO driver version 1.15, the way that the monitors are identified has changed. This is to guard against situations where Windows could enumerate the monitors in different orders when turning them off and on. This could cause the Free-Flow and Windows monitor desktop layouts to be out of sync, preventing the mouse from flowing in the order you had chosen. The driver now determines the order by their physical connection on the graphics card(s). An application called Multi-Monitor Settings is installed alongside the driver which resides in the Windows System Tray. It enables you to identify monitors by letter (A,B,C...) and also re-order them if necessary.
