I have a laptop with 2 monitors attached, which worked until I hit ctrl + alt + F1, which is apparently a graphics hotkey. It is a hotkey combination in the software I was using and has never had any effect on the graphics before. The secondary monitor is now disabled. I have tried to enable it, using the same hotkeys, but then the laptop monitor is disabled. How do I get all 3 monitors enabled. Windows 8, Intel Graphics driver v 10.18.10.3621.

1What Operating system are you running (Windows 8, Windows 10, etc.)? What Graphics provider do you have? And what driver version do you have installed on your system? Well regardless, you should be able to enable the monitors using system settings. – Gamerb – 2015-11-18T21:50:47.873
Windows 8. Intel graphics. That's the problem- I can't enable the monitor using system settings. I either get the secondary monitor or the primary (laptop) monitor. – Mary – 2015-11-18T22:03:20.290
The next question, does your graphics card support multiple monitors? It might only support one at a time or only two. Can you also include the model of the card along with the driver version you have installed? – Gamerb – 2015-11-18T22:07:28.460
It worked until I hit the hotkey combination of ctrl + alt + F1, so yes it does support multiple monitors.. Intel HD Graphics family, driver v 10.18.10.3621. – Mary – 2015-11-18T22:13:41.593

@Mary have you tried using the Intel Graphics Control Center? I believe Windows 8 automatically installs it... – Gamerb – 2015-11-18T22:51:14.697
I looked in the Intel Graphics control center and could not find any option for enabling the monitor. You can bet I if I ever get this fixed, I will save the profile! – Mary – 2015-11-18T22:54:24.210
Pressing the 'Windows Key + P' should give the dialog to select single monitor setup or multi-monitor setups. What does happen when you change these? – benjamin – 2015-11-19T09:56:27.840
Finally got it figured out. Thanks for your help. – Mary – 2015-11-19T15:05:32.790
