Double configuration monitor - only a monitor displays the login screen 2nd monitor is black

Hello, I searched Hi and low and starts to believe that it is just not possible from messages of others.  But since the last time this question has been posted in 2011, I'm hoping that there was a resolution.

How can I get my secondary monitor to show an image (any image would be great), while my computer is locked or simply putting in operation and reached the login screen.  Currently my secondary monitor shows just a black screen.  I do not want my screen to extend completely on two monitors (mosaic on nvidia video card) because when I do, my taskbar spans also the length of the two screens.  I like to use click once on my programs, rather than cluttering up my desktop with icons and you install vertically between the two monitors. I am unable to do otherwise.  Please let me know if anyone knows how to do this.  Thank you

Hello

Please contact Microsoft Community.

I suggest you follow the steps mentioned and see if it helps:

Method 1:

Duplicate the display settings and check if you can view the screen saver in the monitor extended as well.

To change your display settings

1. open the screen resolution by clicking on the Start button, Control Panel, and then, under appearance and personalization, click on adjust the screen resolution.

2. click on the dropdown next to several screens, click on duplicate these appear, and then click OK.

The option appears only when Windows detects multiple displays, more than one monitor connected to your PC.

Note:

o If you don't see an option named multiple displays in your display settings, then Windows isn't detecting a second monitor plugged into your desktop computer. Or else, it does not detect an external monitor plugged into your laptop. When Windows detects this monitor, it will appear in the drop-down list next to the screen. If you do not see that what listed there, try click on Detect.

o ensure that the monitor you want to extend your desktop to is turned on and plugged into the video port appropriate to your computer. You may also need to select the correct source labeled on the controls of your monitor to ensure that the monitor is using the correct video port. For more information, consult the manual of your monitor or go to the manufacturer's Web site.

For more information, see the following link:

Method 2:

I suggest you to check the display resolution value for both monitors. Make sure that the resolution of the screen is the same on each display.

  • Why does the login screen Windows continue reappear on my monitor?

    I use Windows 7 Pro.  Until a few months ago, I couldn't leave my desktop PC on overnight.  As soon as I sat down and moved the mouse or tap a key on the keyboard, my screen saver would disappear and I could go right to work.  It was great!  Several months ago, a problem started that I describe.

    Now, when I walk away from my PC for a few hours and return, I see the Windows login screen.   It is not all the time, but it produces most of the time.   My first step in tackling the problem was to check the settings of the screen Setter.  The bomber of the screen ("ribbons") is supposed to go after 12 minutes of inactivity.

    There is a box to the right of this setting that says 'On Resume, display the login screen'.  This box is averified.

    Then I adjusted to High Performance power settings.  PC display is Never set for when to turn off the screen and also never to when putting the computer to sleep.   I then changed the advanced power settings to try to remedy the problem.  I made sure the following settings are the following:

    High Performance requires no password on wake up.

    Turn off the hard drive at the end of 800 minutes

    The sleep settings:

    Sleep after = never

    Allow hybrid sleep = Off

    Hibernate after = never

    Enable timers wake = Disable

    Turn off the display = never

    Power button: Sleep button Action = Nothing

    For security reasons, I usually use my PC as a standard user.  But the login screen Windows guard reappear after I leave my PC for a while if I run as a limited user or administrator of the master.

    Can you give me some additional ideas on what I can do to remove the login screen Windows reappear after I leave my PC?

    4. change the screen saver 'Ribbons' to something else for example
    'Bubbles '.
    5 restart the computer.
    Now, check if the problem reappears.

  • DW CS6 test server shows only the login screen of my site. Can't do under the hood live wiew. The pages I want to change/modify is visible only when I connect but I do not know how to reolve that.

    I'm trying to edit a CMS site to my needs and "open" pages is not serious, that is to say those that do not require the user to connect to. I can see and I can modify them according to my needs.

    The trickiest part is when I want to change/modify something inside. Then it wont let me. The only thing I see is the "Login" screen I can see the code and I can do what I need, but when I turn on 'Live wiew' is the log in page that greets me


    Tests of servers is correct because I can use it in my localhost

    Connection MySQL works as it should (Test OK)

    I guess that's something that has to do with permissions, but I don't know what.

    A CMS site, the page is usually filled with data that is stored in a database using a scripting language on the server side. Unfortunately, the Design mode only supports a static language like HTML, there is therefore no recovery information from the database.

    The only way out of your situation is to temporarily remove the permission to the user to the page that you are editing so that you do not to log-in each time. The problem is that you may forget to reactivate the authorization.

    What I always do is to open the site in a browser and verify the change in DW refreshing the page in the browser. In this way, you need to log-in once.

  • Mouse and keyboard not working only not to the login screen

    Hi, I was recently infected with Antispyware Soft virus. In my attempt to remove it, my screen went black, so I had to restart my computer. Entering my login screen, I was unable to connect because my keyboard and mouse no longer works. I tried to start the safe mode too and they still do not work on the login screen. However, they work at the start of the BIOS. I looked around, but I couldn't find any option for Legacy USB drivers. I went to a few USB option and select [Enabled] and it still doesn't work to the login screen. I have no PS2 port, so I can't try it. I was also able to use my mouse and keyboard when you attempt a repair of the system to do a system restore, but that solves nothing. I am at a loss what to do. I hope someone is late, as I'll be gone tomorrow/more day late today. I am writing a computer laptop and unable to remember any care my office except the fact, it's Windows Vista.

    Hi HellMuT1,

     
    We recommend to use a different mouse and keyboard, then check the result. If the problem persists, try the following steps.
    1. Insert Windows Vista DVD.

    4. If you are prompted, press a key to continue.
    5. When you reach the screen install Windows, select your preferences in the language to install, time and currency format and keyboard or input method boxes, and then click Next.
    6. do not click on install now. Instead, click on repair your computer. The System Recovery Options dialog box appears.
    7. make sure that the appropriate operating system is selected, and then click Next.
    8. After you click Next, the System Recovery Options menu appears.
    9. click on command prompt.
    10. type devmgmt.msc and press enter
    11. on the window Device Manager, in the object list, expand mice and other pointing devices.

  • How to make Windows 7 see the list of the user on the login screen, not just the last logged-on user

    I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit and have two user accounts on my computer. Problem is that the login screen shows only the last logged user and one "other users" button which allows you to manually enter the username. Is it possible to return to the display of a list of all users instead?

    Jon

    OK... I found how to fix this problem. I know it's a few years since this topic (and most of the people moved to windows 8) but for those who are still Windows 7 who are tired to type the user name, whenever you log in, here is how to display the icons of the user:

    WARNING: This patch is not a hack. I do not use any third party software. I am simply change a security setting in the windows system. The longest part is to find the file. As much as I would like to say that this will fix all computers, I can't guarantee that this will be the solution for your system. This fixed my problem because my just setting should be disabled. That being said, let's move.

    As an admin (must be in an account that has administrator privileges) click the Start button and in the search at the bottom of the opening bar, the type of menu "Edit Group Policy" and press on enter. When the local Group Policy Editor window appears, click on the following arrows in the left column to expand the lists to find the file to change...

    > Computer configuration

    > Windows settings

    > Security settings

    > Local policies

    Security options<-Click on="" this="" file="" name="" or="" icon="" (the="" arrow="" icon="" won't="" do="">

    In the right menu appears a bunch of system settings, find the one that we called "Interactive logon: do not display last user name" This is the setting which will no doubt say "Enabled" beside him. Right-click on the file and select 'Properties', then disable the setting. Restart your computer and you should be good to go!
