How to Fix the "More than 1 monitor" Error for Laptops Connected to a Monitor
If a monitor is connected to your laptop separately and using a cable, you must disable one of the two monitors connected to the laptop (the monitor of the laptop itself or the other monitor) so that only one of these two monitors is active and the vUser software can work properly.
When you are on the home screen, press the Windows + P keys at the same time.
Then a menu will appear on the right side of the screen. If you select the
“PC Screen Only”
from this menu, the side monitor is disabled and only the laptop monitor remains active. By selecting the
“Second screen only”, the laptop monitor is disabled and only the side monitor connected to the laptop
is enabled. Anyway, the choice is yours which monitor you want to use.
Finally, by going through these steps, only one monitor will remain connected to your system, and after this, by re-running the vUser software, you will no longer encounter such an error.
