In Control Panel seems to do nothing, and the 'Detect' button in Settings simply says a display was not connected. I updated to Windows 10 on Jul 30 and discovered that Microsoft broke this method of adding a fake second monitor: Is there a way to fake a dual (second) monitor which I rely on for scaling some small programs to full screen with OBS. The same, it is to extend the desktop that is a very different thing. What we want is to give other use to a Windows 10 device, for example turn a surface on a temporal second display to extend my laptop desktop when needed, not to mirror/show Note 2: We perfectly know we can buy a monitor but this is not the problem here. Note 1: the funtion to create a fake display in windows 10 does not work niether going through Control Panel nor Desktop> Right Click > Resolution. Screen resolution'' I can go to the 'classic' Display settings as in Windows 8.1 Yes, I know going to 'Appearance and personalization' > 'Adjust Other change, is now in Windows 10 when you go to Right click and go to Display settings, actually it goes to a 'metro like' settings interface and not to the original in the control panel.

you just need to have 2 PCs, 1 with windows 8/8.1 and other with windows 10 and you will test this. Now in Windows 10 when you make click on 'Detect' Button nothing happens, no other virtual display is shown, nothing. It must to be an importand, basic and native funtion on the system but.

The desktop to other Windows 10 PC via wireless ad hoc, or innthe same LAN. What many users I know and me want is to extend in the same wireless network but now in windows 10 is imposible to do this. With this very easy method and a program like TeamViewer you can use them to extend your desktop to other laptop/PC/WindowsTablet. Click 'Another display not detected' and under the multiple displays option select 'Try to connect anyway on: VGA'.Click 'Detect' button on the next screen (when click on Detect, a new second monitor was shown on the right of the main display).Right click on the desktop, click 'Screen Resolution'.We say 'fake' display but maybe is not the correct way to call this, anyway here is how to enable a virtual/fake display/monitor in Windows 8.1: How to enable a fake second display in Windows 10 as Windows 8.1? Not Virtual Desktop
