What Display Modes Are There?
Windows devices support several display modes that determine how content is shown across multiple screens. These modes include:
- Extended mode – Expands the desktop across multiple monitors, allowing users to have additional screen space for multitasking.
- Duplicate mode – Mirrors the primary display onto an external screen, useful for presentations or screen sharing.
- Second screen only – Disables the main screen and uses only the external monitor, ideal for docking setups.
- PC screen only – Keeps the built-in display active while turning off any connected external screens.
These display modes enable users to tailor their screen setup based on their needs. With Microsoft Intune, IT admins can remotely configure and enforce these settings, ensuring a consistent experience across managed devices.
