Windows 10 win + P display options

Question

_{Friday, February 10, 2017 9:13 AM}

Hi, 

We have a small number of users who are experiencing an issue when connecting to a projector via VGA - the default behaviour we see is that the monitor duplicates; so the same is on the laptop as is on the projector.  However, we are seeing that randomly the laptops will select second screen only or pc screen only.  Is anyone experiencing this on Windows 10?  I understand a user can press win + p and manually select the desired display options or run displayswitch.exe /clone to duplicate the display, but I would rather identify the route cause.

Hi ,

There is a known problem that the display configuration may revert to Second Screen only instead of remaining in Duplicate mode after you resume from standby. That is the only thing that I found might be related to. The only workaround is using Windows logo key +P keyboard shortcut to change the display configuration back to Duplicate mode.

Display configuration reverts to "Second screen only" after you resume from standby
