I saw it on someone's computer. He'd connected a second monitor. but when I tried to detect it in multiple display setting, it did not show the second monitor. I also checked it in "Project" section by pressing Windows+P , again it showed " PC Only". The second monitor was there and working, but was kind of hidden and not detectable.
How could he do it? is it by using an passive VGA splitter? or is there a program to be installed?

Topic moved to 'Offtopic'. If this AHK-related in some way (then please elaborate), we could move it back to 'Ask For Help'.

Hi @ sotada6979, and welcome to AHK.
Did the someone's computer have a video card, with a working video driver, or was it an integrated video chip with two ports? Do you have the same graphics hardware? Is your primary monitor connected to a port on the GPU, or to the onboard graphics chip port?
