This allows Windows 10 to wake from sleep on timed events. I verified that under Sleep, the Allow wake timers setting was set to Enable. I then clicked the link Change advanced power settings. I don’t put my computer to sleep so I verified that Turn off the display setting was configured to 5 minutes, which is what I wanted and Put the computer to sleep setting was set to Never. I verified that the recommended Balanced plan, which balances performance with energy consumption, was selected. It says that I don't have access to these options.First, I went to Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options. I followed your steps however it will not allow me to bring up the drop down menus.

It definitely sounds like something (password, person) has authority over you, over your PC. I was able to access most of the features if I by passed the log in but I seem to remember (and keep in mind I'm kinda reaching on this one) that certain functions weren't allowed unless I logged in.

If you do own the computer, and just guessing here, but maybe you need to log in somehow with a password to have those rights to the drop down, settings controls? I remember years back I had a PC where I set up a log in. Yes, it sounds like you might be using a computer that your employer issued you for work? You might not have the same rights as if you owned the computer. My question is, using your method and the Targus USB 3.0 Dual Video Adapter (the cheaper option) am I going to be able to close my laptop, use the dual monitors and a Wireless or USB keyboard running Windows 8?Īlso, second question- is the video adapter going to impact the quality of the output on the monitors and if so, anything I should consider when buying a high end monitor? My only other option was to leave the laptop open (which I hated) and use a single other external screen which is an awful solution since the screens are 'different' in terms of height and viewing angle. The system only allowed me to Stretch the display across the three screens. I tried this at work with my aging HP laptop and whatever splitter someone pulled from a backroom, but the result was that I could not display as dual screens. My question is this: I see that I can either purchase Targus USB 3.0 Dual Video Adapter to split the monitors OR the more expensive dock Targus USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Dual Video Docking Station (ACP70USZ). I am looking at setting up two external monitors as a desktop configuration. I haven't purchased my laptop yet, but plan on purchasing a Toshiba Satellite 17.3" today. This can also be accessed from the hardware and audio section of the control panel.

Keep in mind that older laptops will not be able to have the same resolution as newer ones and that there may be a discrepancy between your laptop's resolution and the resolution of your monitor.
