1) My main PC - I have full admin access
2) I have a 2nd screen - Connected by HDMI (i think?)
3) a laptop - I am NOT admin, just a user.
I have an extra HDMI cable permanently connected to my 2nd screen.
ISSUE:
If I open up the laptop, I insert the other end of the HDMI cable and my 2nd screen is extended - for the laptop. The laptop has control of my 2nd screen.
if i LOCK the laptop, my 2nd screen stops being controlled by the laptop, & reverts to my main PC.
When I log back in to my laptop, I WANT the laptop to use the 2nd screen. However Ive got to physically unplug the HDMI from the laptop, & re-plug it in again to gain control.
Is there a way to alter PC 1 (above) that I have admin on, to tell my 2nd screen that the 2nd HDMI cable is given priority? (without plugging in/unplugging the cable)
- If my laptop isn't connected - my main PC has control over the 2nd screen
- if my laptop IS connected (but locked - not active) my main PC has control.
- If I plug the HDMI into my laptop, OR log-in (no longer locked and HDMI is already connected) my laptop controls the 2nd screen. without manually taking out & plugging in the HDMI.
