Hi Wim, you have seen 3 screens in WDP because in the meantime I have also connected the second monitor via the external VGA connection of the laptop, so I do have 3 monitors, but only because I have gone through the external VGA connection of the laptop.
When I plug/unplug the HDMI connection, the system does not flash or move or do anything at all.
Maybe I do have a problem with the HDMI connection.
My monitors have various entries and the second display is connected both via VGA cable and HDMI cable. The VGA connection directly to the VGA external connector of the laptop works fine, but the HDMI connection via le docking station does not work at all.

In fact my interim solution is to connect one external monitor via the DVI connection of the docking station and another via the external VGA connection of the laptop with another VGA cable :-(
That means 2 cables and of course a docking station in USB2.0 for the other connectors (USB2 and USB 3 ports, Audio and Ethernet)

Any clue why that HDMI connection does not work?
Hardware issue?

Thanks for your help.
