Requesting help with computer issue -

1) IF HDMI make sure cable is connected properly, ie seated.  My Laptop has connector issues. VGA shouldn’t have this problem.
2) Press F8
3) Selections should appear on RHS of screen
4) Arrow down to “Duplicate”  then <CR>

Laptop should be duplicated on monitor.

Aha!

“Duplicate” worked!  It wasn’t exactly on the RHS – had to dig a bit – but that did it.

Why it should need that after having worked flawlessly for a couple of years is beyond me – unless Windows’ latest update messed it up.  I choose to blame that.

And I very much appreciate your help!  As I do for the help from others who also chipped in.  Great group, as always.

Back to FD . . .

I have to do that every so often with my laptop that I use only for ham
radio stuff - W10 has a will of its own, it seems.

Windows update undoes settings each time. I disable Xbox and virtual server
services and they are enabled after updates.

I fought for a very long time, and finally gave up on Windows and
shifted to Linux Mint Cinnamon.

One of my mentors calls Linux the OS of last resort, and I agree,
Microsoft finally pushed me that far.

The Cinnamon desktop is more windows-like than Windows 10.

It took some doing but I made Win 10 look and feel like "real windows"
(Win 7).
