This is likely a hardware issue then, it's not something DisplayFusion can help you with.

Sorry!
Thanks for the information provided a couple of months ago. I've now purchased a new computer - partially so that I can use multiple displays (as advertized by Dell). First thing out of the box was to fire up the new computer with 2 of my 3 monitors. It recognized BOTH. I'm happy. Now after cleaning up my office a few days later I can't get multiple displays. I'm pretty sure (but not certain) that I'm using the same 2 monitors.

I've swapped out cables and used alternate computer (graphic cards) with the cable swaps to try to determine why I now cannot use both monitors. After a couple of hours messing with various combinations I decided to post here.

I'm happy to try differerent things and to submit screen captures.

I appreciate your help! ]]> RE: Second Monitor Not detected https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-not-detected/?ID=ad83273e-672f-46d0-871f-93931a926571#4 Tue, 19 Sep 2023 13:58:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-not-detected/?ID=ad83273e-672f-46d0-871f-93931a926571#4 DisplayFusion This is likely a hardware issue then, it's not something DisplayFusion can help you with.

DisplayFusion gets the monitor info from Windows. If you open the Windows Display Settings, is the monitor shown as connected there?
No. See screenshot. ]]> RE: Second Monitor Not detected https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-not-detected/?ID=ad83273e-672f-46d0-871f-93931a926571#2 Mon, 18 Sep 2023 16:05:38 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/second-monitor-not-detected/?ID=ad83273e-672f-46d0-871f-93931a926571#2 DisplayFusion DisplayFusion gets the monitor info from Windows.

Now, when I boot my computer I get the message "entering power saving mode" and the second monitor is blank except in analog (security system) mode.

How do I get my second monitor active again? I've updated to the latest version. I've also hit the "reset" button and have unplugged/replugged the monitor.

Second monitor is active in analog mode - just not in digital. ]]>
