I've got my monitor and TV connected to my PC, and I've selected my TV as the main display, but it keeps showing up as Screen 2. When I unplug my monitor, the TV works fine, but as soon as I restart or turn off my PC, the TV says 'No Signal' until I plug the monitor back in. All my drivers are up to date, and I even did a clean install of Windows 10. I can't keep the monitor connected because I need the space, so I want my TV to be the primary display. I'm not sure if the HDMI is tied to the motherboard or something else, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried switching the HDMI ports on your video card? Monitors are detected in a certain order, and sometimes adjusting the ports can help it recognize your TV as the main display. It might sound technical, but it's worth a shot!
Is your TV a smart TV? Sometimes they take a little longer to boot up or process the connection, which might cause issues in recognizing your PC right away. Just curious if that's what's happening here.
I’m not very tech-savvy, so I wouldn't know how to do that. Are there specific steps I should take?
