Extra monitor desktop extension fails

After the last update from Microsoft Update I cannot extend my desktop to my
second monitor anymore. I do get the background image on the second monitor,
but I cannot move the mouse there. Has anything been changed here or will
there be a fix soon to cope with this problem?

Re: Extra monitor desktop extension fails

It sounds like you installed a new driver for you graphics card from Win
Update.
Tuner card and graphic card driver updates from Win update are often several
months old not compatible with your system.
Go the Website of the chip manufacture for your graphics card and download
their latest drivers.
