I got an old monitor from Tabby when her office was renovated, in addition to the remote monitor I have used long time.  Lenovo is 1 year old, and runs on Windows 11.

With the help of a mini docking station (which also holds the wireless keyboard & mouse), my laptop now recognizes that there are two remote monitors, but it only allows me to extend displays to either 1/2 or 1/3, not to all 3 simultaneously. 

Any thoughts/suggestions?

what type of docking station is it? 

Also - what type of graphics card do you have?

  • Press Win + R, type dxdiag, and go to the Display tab.
  • Alternatively, search Device Manager → Display Adapters to see your GPU model.
  • Look up your GPU model on the manufacturer’s site (Intel, AMD, or NVIDIA) to check multi-monitor support.

    There is a label on the ideapad5 saying that it has Intel iRISxe graphics.
