Hi everyone

Recently I added a new screen to my PC, the first one is connected with DVI and the second one is connected with HDMI.

how can I change the PC screen and second screen defaults?

    Hi S,

    Understood. Monitor==display. Select your PC screen and check "Make this my main display". If you are not able to, please send the screenshot of Display settings.

    Hi Sumit.

    thanks for your reply.

    I did not mean setting the main display. I meant PC and second screen.

    when I do "windows+P" and click on PC screen only, the HDTV screen is shown but I want my first monitor to be selected.

    Hi S,

    I am Sumit here to assist you with this question.

    To set a display as main display, go to Settings>Display. Select the second display and check "Make this my main display".
