In some cases you might not be able to physically setup a second Monitor, or you simply do not have the money to spend for one. No matter whats the reason, there is a way to tell Windows that you have a Monitor connected. This “Virtual Monitor” can then be used to hold programs you currently do not need, or programs you want to capture with your streaming/recording software but which would be hidden behind your fullscreen game for example. Oh, and of course on older QuickSync setups, if you need a Monitor connected to your iGPU, this setup should also help you get QuickSync working. So how do we do it? With a few simple steps:
DisplayLink technology is fully supported on all current versions of Windows 10 (Intel and AMD CPUs). Black ops 1 computer codes zombie maps. In the summer of 2016, the DisplayLink architecture on Windows 10 was improved. This changes the behaviour and installation methods. The details of this are covered below: Windows 10 Anniversary Update requires our driver v8.0 or above. With Windows HD Color in Windows 10, you get the most of out your high dynamic range (HDR) TV or PC display. When you connect your HDR10-capable TV or display to a Windows 10 PC that supports HDR and wide color gamut (WCG), you’ll get a brighter, more vibrant, and more detailed picture compared to a standard dynamic range (SDR) display.

Open your Screen Resolution settings, either using the Control Panel or by right-clicking your Desktop and selecting Screen Resolution:
Click the “Detect” button and one or two gray Monitor’s should appear
QuickSync users now have to make sure the Display they select is named as “Available display output on: Intel(R) HD Gr…”, users that simply want a Virtual monitor can read on
Next we have to tell Windows to try and connect a display anyway, followed by clicking apply
The next step differs slightly again. Normal users should now have the option to Duplicate their desktop, which we do not want of course, while both QuickSync and Normal users should have the option to “Extend desktop to this display”. This is what we want so select, again followed by the apply button, to get our Virtual Monitor.
Now, last but not least, if you want to use the Monitor and do not just need it for QuickSync, you can select a usable resolution, for example similar to your normal Monitor resolution.
