Extended Monitors does not work after upgrade to version 1809
Hello Experts
I have 2 PCs, both identical units, with identical add-on video card that support deal monitor in extended mode.
I just upgraded to Version 1809 and now I have two monitors, both displaying the same thing.
I've disabled both the onboard and addd-on cards; re-enabled only the add-on card and still the same. I've uninstalled both cards (in Device Manager) and restarted both PCs. Still mirrored monitors.
I looked at undoing the upgrade, but Windows indicates I'll lose programs if I do.
I'd appreciate any assistance.
Thanks

Have you checked the setting where you tell Windows whether to mirror the monitors or to extend the displays? It may have gotten reset during the upgrade.

No, I can’t do that. When I try to identify them it says it doesn’t see a second one

Hello all:
I admit I was quite frustrated. I tried to up date right from the device manager and was told I already had the best drivers available. But I went to the AMD site and found derivers from 2015 and 2016. After installing those, it has returned to normal.
Thanks to all three of you
