Windows - How to Ignore External Monitors

I currently have a three monitor setup - two external displays and one laptop screen.

At times, I have something else connected to one of the monitors (a different computer), so I can't see the content that the windows is projecting onto the external monitors. Often times information gets blocked or windows will open up an application in a window that is being hidden.

Is there an easy way to stop displaying on a currently connected external monitor? Looking at display settings, I can't seem to find anything.

I can't constantly be removing Display cords since they are hooked up to a dock that lives behind my desk.

Solution 1:

The GUI way to disconnect the display is to:

1. Open Settings -> System -> Display.
2. Select the monitor that you want to stop displaying to.
3. Under Multiple Displays dropdown select Disconnect this display.
4. Select Keep changes when prompted.

To reconnect:

1. Open Settings -> System -> Display.
2. Select the monitor that you want to reconnect.
3. Under Multiple Displays dropdown select Extend desktop to this display.
4. Select Keep changes when prompted.
