If I try to operate by plugging my monitor directly into the VGA port, it will not work. All I can see is two different backdrops on each screen, with the mouse extending to either screen, but no icons on either of them. however, when I click the tabs in the task bar to open the program, nothing happens. I have two different home screens on each monitor and when I use the mouse, it will extend to both screens the way I wanted it to originally. I must've messed up something in my settings because now when I plug in a monitor via VGA and a second monitor via HDMI it shows a blank desktop with programs lit up in my taskbar. I initially got a vga splitter and it was working, but it just mirrored the same stuff on both screens - it didn't extend. But because they both show the bios, i don't think it's a plug issue.ДЄny tips I should try would be helpful, i already tried everything else I've seen on this thread. After work tomorrow i'll try switching which plug each monitor goes in and one at a time in each plug. Right before it gets to the windows log in screen, one monitor goes blank and says no signal.

I tried rolling back the driver, I tried windows updating the driver, i tried the AMD site driver, I tried uninstalling the AMD driver and windows driver and re-installing the AMD driver.Дuring boot up, both monitors show the bios, they even both show the windows loading swirl. Like many of the other posts, only 1 monitor is detected.

I got the Win10 64 driver from the AMD site.ДЇor Win10 I got the free upgrade and did a clean install. The Compaq is VGA that I use a DVI adaptor.

Ok, here's what I got AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Processor 3.30GHz, 16GB RAM, Win10 Pro 64bit, XFX Radeon R7 260X, Compaq Q2009 Series Wide LCD Monitor and a Niko Monitor. That helps so that the cursor flows smoothly side to side between the monitors without having to slide off to the right of one to enter at the left of the other. Also, you can drag the two images of monitors to put one to the left of the other. At the 'multiple displays' click the dropdown and select 'Extend these displays.' Note also that you can choose which display is the 'main display' (where your program icons and system tray show). I turned off the computer and turned it back on and Voila! both monitors were detected and operating just as they had been with Windows 8.ДЇor those who have not used additional displays before, to avoid merely duplicating the display on both screens, go to Control Panel, Display, Adjust resolution. After a few minutes of updating the primary screen switched to white noise again. At another help site, it was suggested to right click and 'roll back' the driver. There is a driver showing and it indicated a problem (small yellow triangle next to the name of the driver). Go to control panel, device manager, display adapter.

Turned out that Windows 10 had indeed loaded.ДЄfter messing around with this for an hour and a half and reading lots of helpful tips from frustrated MS users, I did find a solution on my computer. I tried reloading Windows 10, thinking there must be a problem, but I had the whole white noise problem over again, turning off and on, completing two novels and a trip to the bathroom while I waited. However, the additional display could not be detected. It had white noise again, I turned it off and on again, and the second time the display came up on the primary computer. I ended up having to turn off the computer and restart it.

('Free' = 'Beta version, you have been warned.') During loading Windows 10 my primary screen suddenly developed white noise everywhere instead of an image. I have a relatively new Lenovo PC with Windows 8.1. How I fixed the Windows 10 'second monitor cannot be detected' problem on my computer.
