1. The HDMI to VGA converter has been connected. But now the ThinkPad T570 still doesn’t detect other monitors. as shown in Figure 1

2. Finally found that you need to choose to expand these monitors in the multi-monitor, instead of copying these monitors by default. as shown in Figure 2

3. However, now Rearrange the display has 1 2 two monitors. However, only the VGA display is displayed: the detection signal line. as shown in Figure 3

4. In the display settings, click Box 2 (your VGA screen), and find down: Multiple monitors → Extend these monitors. Then the most important: make sure that the display 2 is selected, and change the resolution to: 1024×768 (recommended). still invalid.
5. Finally found the reason, the cable of the VGA monitor is not inserted. The final effect is in line with expectations. as shown in Figure 4
6. It is generally a habit to put the 2 monitor on the left side of the 1 display (laptop). But now clicking on the lower right corner of the 1 display, it feels like I have clicked on the Win icon displayed in 2. Right-click the desktop → Display settings. Find two squares for rearranged displays (1 = notebook, 2 = VGA). Press and hold block 2, drag it to the left side of block 1, and the upper and lower edges are fully aligned (the system will make a light line prompt to align). Click Apply Save. Test: The mouse slides out from the lower right corner of the screen 1, and should only slide at the bottom of the screen 1/right, and will not jump directly to the screen 2.
