Extend the Windows 8.1 screen on another monitor while in logon screen

0

to make things a little clear:

I connected my TV through a HDMI-cord with my computer.
My TV is in another room.
My Computers power adapter is connected with a remotely controlled Power Control. If i push a button on a remote from another room, power goes on and off for my PC.
"Power on LAN" is enabled on my PC. Means, as soon i press "ON" on that remote i just mentioned, PC boots up.
I got a bluetooth keyboard+mouse, to control my PC when i'm in the TV-Room.

Problem:

When i boot up my PC, using that remote from the TV-Room, i just have a black screen since i haven't extend the desktop prior on the PC. Even when i do this, the logon-screen still remans on the primary-monitor, which means i have to type in my password blindly. I don't want to set the TV-Screen as primary screen manually and back all the time, either.
When i boot up the PC in the TV-Room, i want to stay in the TV-Room.

What i want:

A way to extend the display AND the logon-screen of Windows 8.1 to my TV-Screen, using only my bluethooth-keyboard + -mouse, all while beeing in the logon-screen.

Is There a way to do this?

Best Wishes

I have exactly the same setup: PC in a room and TV in another room.

You can bring the logon screen to the TV by BLINDLY entering the following key sequence:

  • Enter (go from lock screen to logon screen)
  • Win + P (show project options)
  • End (select second screen)
  • Enter (confirm)

To bring the logon screen back to the PC:

  • Enter
  • Win + P
  • Home
  • Enter

It appears, the issue isn't that you haven't extended, more that you're focusing on the wrong screen (assuming I've understood).

You could change which screen the login screen starts on with shift+Windows Key+left arrow or shift+Windows Key +right arrow

Windows + P will do the work for you if you are on Windows 8/Windows 8.1. Select extend from options
