  1. Adding a monitor


    I have a new HP desktop and a new acer monitor I want to use as a second screen. I've done the HDMI and power cable. Why is it still not turning on? yes, I tried to turn it on but power button isn't having an effect, but I don't know if this is because it's connected. Please help!

    :)

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman

    Thanks Elise,

    I found more links which suggest

    1. turn one of the monitor
    2. feedback to Microsoft
    Using Steps Recorder on Two monitors. (microsoft.com)

    How to limit Problem Steps Recorder to single - Microsoft Community

    I need assistance on both suggestions; how to

    1. turn off laptop monitor?
    2. locate feedback hub on Cortana?
    My workaround is to use PowerPoint Screen Recorder but this need additional screen capture.

    The reason for Screen Recorder is Windows 10 Mouse Cursor for Office Menu item disappear when select Screen Capture App. It is cumbersome to show Tech Support what is selected on Office App on captured screen...

    Thanks Ahead!
