dude was actually pissing me off cause of how slow he was going, but then i stuck it out cause maybe he could teach me something. then when he finally reached the end he just updated his driver which was not even my issue to begin with. thank you, for making a 3 minute video about updating your drivers. so much help, unbelievably useful. definitely did not even think once, twice, 3 times, four times, five times, maybe 10 times to update my drivers to get my computer to detect my 2nd monitor. theres a brightside to seeing your channel. if you can do it with videos like this, then that means even the average person can make a yt channel and be successful.

Folks I fixed it.. the driver does need updating but not drone system settings.. right click on desktop somewhere and pick up your graphics settings.. mines AMD Radeon Software.. when you open that up there’s an option to update your driver and it started to update.. I was still getting “you driver is up to date” through systems settings and I was pulling my hair out but this worked... good luck

So I followed along to the tutorial until I realised I just forgot to plug in the hdmi cable :)

Ok here's a fix: some PCs like mine have 1 HDMI port at the gpu and 1 at the motherboard. And for both monitors to work, they must both be plugged into the GPU, or both into the motherboard. not 1 in GPU and 1 in motherboard. Simple fix: get an adapter. So you have 1 regular HDMI cord from 1 monitor into the HDMI port on the GPU, and then the adapter will have HDMI on one end, and then a dp for example on the other end (if your other ports on the GPU is dp ports) (buy the adapter depending on which ports there are other than the HDMI on your GPU)

to add onto this post: I have 1 HDMI, 1 DP and 1 DVI port. Since my HDMI port is occupied by my monitor (connected to my desktop), I want to have an additional screen (42" TV) for watching films and lectures, so I use either the DVI or DP port and use an adapter e.g HDMI to DP. Anyway, thank you for the fix , LemonStrafe. :) I hope this helps someone that was struggling.

I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card in my Asus. I have 1 monitor plugged in to (HDMI) at graphics card port (works great). Now I have another monitor (ASUS VG245HY) that I want to use as 2nd monitor. I have plugged it into the back of the Asus desktop in the only remaining HDMI (at the top/back of the machine) = the PC's will not recognize the 2nd monitor. Now I noticed on your video that your 'Display Adapters' includes "Intel (R) UHD 620". Mine only displays NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 (I have updated those drivers and they are good). What am I missing to get this 2 monitor to be recognized?

[Solved / update] Use the shortCut Windows+P brings up a completely different menu than the traditional "Right Click" > "Display Settings".

"Detect" does not work. I no longer have the option to "View Only" on a single monitor. I can only extend or duplicate. I now have to go into NVIDIA control panel and disable the 2nd monitor to force Windows to use the 1st monitor.

And if it doesn't work try and see if you connected everything right because my setup is to a matrix,from my videocard i use both hdmi to my monitors,back then i was using vga and my uncle hdmi when i switched monitors to let my uncle play while i do some work all the desktop apps went from one monitor to the other one but now it's not working,and im not talking about select and app and put it into the other display,that's easy to do,but one game is set to monitor 2 for example,if i put the game on monitor 1 my uncle cannot see the game,just the pc backround.

My drivers are updated and i tried other solutions but somehow it still doesn't detect the 2nd monitor. ( i checked cables, and they are new, 2nd monitor is on but still doesnt get detected)

I have 1 monitor with hdmi cable and the other one has a VGA cable so will it work?

This is my problem: I have a new monitor, a Asus Tuf gaming 27". This monitor works fine with several laptops, desktops and games consoles. I also have an older Asus laptop with dual gpu's. I can connect it via hdmi to several different monitors, both old and brand new, and it works fine. But here comes the problem: this old asus laptop does not work with my new asus monitor, as if they're not compatible with each other. I dont get it. What could be the problem? There is no fault in the cables or drivers or gpu's, as far as I know, since both the new monitor and the old laptop works fine in several different set ups, just not together.

god, i'm gonna feel like one of those bots saying this but it actually worked. thank you!!!

i have 2 monitors 1 HDMI 1 dvi the dvi one doesn't show in device manger its plugged in it was working when i only had it pleas help

If u use Nvidia. Open Nvidia control panel with rightclick --> choose display --> set up multiple displays --> and select the displays you want to use --> Tick on box for 2nd display. Done! Make sure to plug all them in before doing this. You'll be fine! Sorry for my bad english btw :D

So I did the steps in your video and I ran the update driver. I'm getting the message "Windows has determined the best driver for this device is installed. There may be better drivers on Windows Update or on the device manufacturers website.". What do I do? It does give me the option to "Search for Updated drivers on Windows Update." do I continue to search on windows update? I don't want to ruin my computer. this is for work and a 2nd monitor is a requirement. I might also want to add that I had to downgrade from Windows 11 to Windows 10 due to Windows 11 not being compatible for my work platform. This has been a mess.
