Projector Bug, need help
So what I did was plug a projector into my laptop and tried the extend feature.
But after removing the projector my laptop screen was still on extend.
Is there a way to return it to normal?
I already tried windows+p and chose computer only, and nothing happened.

If after, re-connect the projector, and then try w+p
The only other thing I can think of for now would be to go to the display tab of your graphics card, and see if you can change it back there.
EDIT:
Try CTRL+ALT+F7 If you see a confirmation box for settings click Yes
If that works try CTRL+ALT+F8 to go back to extended.
