    Multiple Display - phantom display after PC restored from laptop Image


    Hello,
    I recently installed an image of my laptop running windows 10 home into a SSD and installed it in my PC with Dual monitors.
    The Dual monitors are connected to my PC via Targus DisplayLink hub.

    In my Settings for Display I am able to see the dual monitors as well as a 3rd smaller monitor which actually does not exist. I have clicked Detect but it still does not get rid of the unknown monitors.

    Since I am not able to get rid of the 3rd phantom display some times I am facing issues with open browsers getting opened in my non-existent display.

    Then as a work around I disabled the driver of the non-existent display.

    Although occasionally I am still getting unusual behavior from my PC related to display.

    Please suggest a permanent fix to get rid of this Phantom display. Pls see the attachment.

    Oscer1, This is not a Laptop but a PC which has an SSD with the image of my Toshiba Laptop. So effectively it has only 2 monitors which i have connected via the Tragus Hub. When I connect a monitor directly to the PC I do not see the issue I am experiencing.

    Then why use the hub? You say you imaged the laptop to the ssd and using that on your desktop? Why would you do that? Why not just install windows on the desktop? Did you have the hub hooked to laptop when doing the image
