Windows 10: Windows 11 - Strange Issue with 2 Extended Monitors

I am facing a strange issue with my laptop. I have connected 2 extended HDMI monitors through a HUB using USB-C. Issue:I want them to be connected in an extended manner and so I have selected the projection as 'Extend'. Whenever I hub and connect it, it works as required. However, whenever my laptop goes to sleep and wakes up or when it is restarted, the 2 monitors act as 1 and the screens are duplicated on both the monitors. So, while the configuration is extend, the 2 monitors act as a single entity [both monitors display the same content] and that single entity extends to my laptop and I ca

How do I extend the desktop to three monitors in Windows 11?

I have a three-monitor setup: one monitor is built into my laptop, one is connected via the laptop's HDMI port, and the third is connected via a USB to HDMI extender. All 3 monitors are recognized when I go into display setting, and I can see my desktop on all three monitors. Further, I can extend my desktop to monitors 1 and 2 or to 2 and 3 but not to all three at the same time. This worked seamlessly in Windows 10, but I'm having issues in Windows 11. I'm in the process of migrating to a new laptop. The laptop's bios is up to date, and it was necessary to install a new driver for the USB to HDMI video extender (a J5 Create model JUA365) to get the 3rd monitor to show up in the Windows 11 display settings.

The problem I'm seeing is that there is no option such as "Extend the desktop to all monitors" in the display settings. I've seen all of the following choices: "Extend desktop to 1 and 2," Extend desktop to 1 and 3," "Extend desktop to this display," "Disconnect this display," "Duplicate desktop on 1 and 3, and "Duplicate desktop on 2 and 3." All of the choices listed here seem to work except "Extend desktop to this display." Based on these choices, I'm expecting to extend the desktop to 1 and 2 (which works), then select monitor 3 among the available monitors that appear in the monitor configurator, then select "Extend desktop to this display." But that isn't working. As mentioned, the first part works. The second part seems like it's going to work in that the displayed content on all the monitors momentarily shrinks, then snaps back to full size. However, I still can't access the third monitor with my mouse.

 

Extending 2 Dell Monitors

Hello!

I am very technologically challenged, and I am trying to EXTEND (not mirror) my 2 desktop Dell monitors.

My computer only has one vga port, and my monitors have hdmi cables.

I bought a uGreen hdmi female to vga male adapter but I still can't figure it out.

I am able to mirror them but not extend them as i'm wanting to do for my work.

I looked in the display settings area, and it only shows one monitor, and it won't detect the 2nd one at all.

If anyone could be so kind to do a STEP BY STEP instruction on how to set this up, i'd greatly appreciate it!!
