Monitor Count Disabled

Post by Samer Sadek »

Hello,
I am running 4.3.12, and am trying to run my instance on dual monitors. However the monitor count (settings - display - video ) is disabled. Actually everything in that screen is disabled.
What am I missing?

Thanks

Did you shut down the VM first? (I don't mean suspend it).

You're missing the fact that your machine is either running, paused or saved state.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

That's it.
I thought just saving it would be enough. Shutting it down allowed me to change it.
Thanks
