It must to be an importand, basic and native funtion on the system but Now in Windows 10 when you make click on 'Detect' Button nothing happens, no other virtual display is shown, nothing. Other change, is now in Windows 10 when you go to Right click and go to Display settings, actually it goes to a "metro like" settings interface and not to the original in the control panel.

Note 2: We perfectly know we can buy a monitor but this is not the problem here. I have found a slightly complicated solution for this, which requires some physical modification. Using one of these home made "dummy plugs", which you can make with the instructions shown here.

You can trick windows into thinking you have a monitor plugged in, when there's really nothing there. I would think you can modify the fake monitor in the windows display settings, I use the free version of Display Fusion. Threats include any threat of suicide, violence, or harm to another.

As such you'll have to use a little creative click-and-drag resizing to reposition the windows on the spanned desktop. Do you have a multiple monitor setup? Do you regularly use Remote Desktop? Will you take advantage of Windows 7's Remote Desktop support for multiple monitors?

Word of advice, if you don't need the second monitor, don't keep it open all of the time.

At least on my system, it was very "touchy" in that the second window would pop up even when I had minimized it. I tried that but when I go into the screen resolution settings on the virtual machine using the console , I only see a single monitor. If so, click on Show Options, then in the Display tab, check the Use all of my monitors for the remote session. I'll guess. Make sure you have increased the guest video ram, I think the default is 4Mb, depending on your screen resolutions you will need to change this - ESXi has a calculator for this when you edit settings, but somewhere between Mb will do what you need.

Your workstation has to be atleast Windows 7 to do it but Batmelek has the screenshot of the setting. My client computer is Win7Pro using remote desktop. I set the video memory to 32MB and also checked the box to use all my monitors in the remote session.

Now you never said that in your original post - but why would you want two displays on a guest using the console? I also tried on RDP. I am trying to get into the resolution settings to enabled the 2nd monitor but I only see one monitor. You don't have to do anything on the graphic adapter setting of the VM. I think it's the VMTools that is causing it.
