How to disable laptop monitor drivers#
Since I was in the middle of loading drivers and other OS updates, the function keys or other methods of using the keyboard to change the settings blindly were of no use. You see the other tips just had you use the default function keys to cycle through the display options and push the display to the external monitor. Hopefully, you should now have a display on the external monitor. Reboot (with the external monitor STILL connected), and allow Windows to boot normally. With the external monitor connected, boot into safe mode, then disable the display adapter (in device manager). I finally found the solution online at this website. It will be disabled when the second screen only option is selected. Laptop screen is always the primary screen by default.
How to disable laptop monitor install#
So, I’ve been doing a clean install and update of everything for them, but ran into issues on some reboots where the laptop just would not boot-up and push the default display to the external monitor so I could see what was going on. To connect to an external display and turn off the laptop display, you will select the fourth option Second screen only. They have the monitor, keyboard and mouse from their desktop computer that they can plug into this laptop and have everything they need. The laptop works fine if you plug in an external monitor and basically use the laptop as a desktop machine.Ī friend of mine’s computer went out and now they need a replacement, but just don’t have the money to buy a replacement at this point. I picked up a nice Toshiba laptop that had been stepped on by a family’s giant St. This time my habit is paying off for a friend. I need to get better about not doing it because I usually just end up with a load of junk that I’ll always just have good intentions for, but never the time to do anything with it.Ĭlick here to just skip all this and go straight to the solution I have this thing about collecting damaged items.
