Question How Disable Extend Desktop from extended monitor

[jonathan1683]

Hello

I am currently going crazy trying to get my Yoga 260 laptop to display on my Vizio tv. The problem is I have somewhat locked myself out of troubleshooting because when I plug in my tv it defaults to extend desktop with the TV being default so I can't see anything on my laptop except the extended desktop. So I cant do anything because anything I launch goes to the non working display. Is there anyway to reset this behavior or change the default primary montor back to my laptops screen? I uninstalled the Intel display drivers and it didn't help.


Thanks for your help,

Seems odd. Would try it on another legit monitor. I do recall having issues like that when using a TV. Are you using HDMI?

Thanks for the help guys, rgd that button doesnt work for some reason so I installed the drivers for the hotkeys and nothing seems like a good idea it would have been a nice function to have in that situation. Googled some and it says you must be using display port for that to work. I dont have a display port dongle only HDMI so maybe thats why. I did end up getting it by unplugging it moving the intel window into a spot i knew where it was and just kept grabbing for it with the mouse blindly. That worked, but still stuck as to why the TV wont display. I will keep messing with it..
