Area(s) with issue?
Power Display
Steps to reproduce
- Connect a triple monitor setup (dual monitors work fine).
- Open PowerToys > Power Display (or equivalent monitor control module).
- Observe that the third monitor is not detected/displayed.
- In some sessions, only two monitors appear, and for those, brightness, contrast, and sound sliders are greyed out / unavailable rather than showing full controls.
✔️ Expected Behavior
All connected monitors (including triple monitor setups) should be detected consistently, with full brightness, contrast, and volume slider controls available for each detected display.
❌ Actual Behavior
- Dual monitor setups work correctly since the Maximum Compatibility update.
- Triple monitor setups intermittently fail to detect the third display.
- When only two monitors are shown (in a triple setup), some controls (brightness/contrast/sound sliders) are missing or disabled rather than fully functional.
