Windows 8.1 desktop home page blinks on second screen?

If I connect a laptop to a second screen, then the second screen is detected but Windows 8.1 then starts to flash and the icons disappear from the start page! How can I solve this?

Ha

Sounds like you just need to update drivers ;-)

For the right first ever install.

Su

And which drivers? I have the latest graphic driver. Which other drivers are still in question?

Ha

So I actually meant the video driver.

Alao a little more info might be helpful…

Monitor first and second. Graphic card. Etc

Su

It can't be due to the graphics driver; the second screen is detected but it is flashing and does not work. Just as if you make the Aufkösung more than 1920x1080, then the screen is blank and only the background screen can be seen

Ha

Maybe stupid question but possibly cable defective or screen?

Su

No, the cables are not defective. And the screen works too. Which drivers other than graphics drivers are decisive?
