Configuring Your Monitors in Windows 11

Published in Display Settings 2 mins read

To assign and configure a monitor in Windows 11, you typically access the display settings where you can manage multiple connected displays.

Here is how you can configure your monitors using the Windows 11 Display settings, incorporating the provided reference information:

"Assigning" a monitor in Windows 11 usually refers to setting up how multiple connected displays work together. This is done within the Display settings section of Windows.

Step-by-Step Guide

Based on the reference, follow these steps to configure your displays:

  1. Right-click anywhere on the desktop.
  2. Click Display settings from the context menu that appears.
  3. In the Display settings window, scroll down to the Multiple displays section.
  4. Click the drop-down menu within the Multiple displays section and then select a display option (like Extend these displays, Duplicate these displays, Show only on 1, Show only on 2, etc., although the reference only states 'select a display option').
  5. If Windows isn't detecting a connected display, you can click Detect to attempt to find a second display.

Following these steps allows you to tell Windows how you want your connected monitors to function, effectively "assigning" their roles or how they display content relative to each other.
