On the VGA monitor have them both set at 1024X768. Nothing changed. Will show on the 2nd monitor option but won't extend or duplicate.
On the other monitor, put them both at the same resolution (not recommended by either) and it wouldn't show on 2nd monitor option at all, and not extend or duplicate. Did this using VGA as well as HDMI

- Mar 11, 2022No problem, please mark my answer as solution to mark it as solved
- statetravMar 11, 2022Copper ContributorYes, finally. Changed the hz to close to the same and than the resolution at the same time and this time it popped up. Have only used it one time due to work, so will see if it works again the next time.

Please change the extra monitor that you have to one from this list matching the max resolution of the monitor
