Another thing to try is a different interface. If your system and monitors support them, try using one type of interface on one monitor and different one on the other. e.g. display port and HDMI, HDMI and wireless, etc.

 

Are you connecting directly, or through a video dock?  I'm using a Kensington USB3.0 2X Video Dock and haven't any (unresolvable) issues for the last several months.

 

Also, if you are using HDMI, ensure that you have the appropriate HDMI cable. Not all are made the same, and different versions of HDMI compatibility support different features - especially if you're connecting 4K monitors! 

 

Tall that said, Windows 11 monitor support is still a far cry from that experienced with Windows 10. You would think all that Microsoft Development Team genius pool would be able to get it right after all this time???  (One of the basics of any troubleshooting - historic review of a state when the trouble didn't exist... (to wit - Windows 10))

    Teligence1970 My original configfuration of 2 x 28" screens included one using HDMI and the other Display Port.   Didn't help in that case.
