How to Blank Out One Monitor in a Dual Monitor Setup on Windows 11?
Asked by

I'm looking for a way to blank out one monitor in my dual monitor setup on Windows 11. I have a setup that runs a projector in the entrance of a building, while also being connected to a monitor in another room. My goal is to blank out the monitor connected in the separate room, so that people there only see what's displayed on the projector. I've tried reducing the brightness and turning the monitor off, but that just switches me back to a single monitor setup. Any ideas?

You can manage your displays by going to the display settings on your computer. From there, select 'Extended Display' and then you can choose to view only 'Display 1' or 'Display 2'. This way, you can keep the projector running while turning off the second monitor without losing your dual display setup.

Just a heads up, make sure to keep regular backups of your data before tweaking with any settings. It’s also a good idea to be careful, since changes in system settings can sometimes lead to unexpected results.
