Hi Alban,

Thanks for the quick reply.

For the longest time I have had to keep the lid open on my laptop - effectively having 3 screens, although I only ever use the two external monitors when I am docked. DisplayLink gave me issues when I had the lid closed.

In this configuration, with the lid open (and therefore the laptop screen on), if I switch the "main display" status to one of my external monitors, my 3D software crashes. If I keep the "main display" status on my laptop, then it all works just fine.

I will certainly try to see if I can now close the lid and have things works properly. That would indeed solve my "main display" on the external monitor issue!

Kind regards,

Tom
