Setting HDMI display port priority...
XPS 15 9560
Dear All,
I have Dell XPS 15 9560 which is connected with 2 Display in Extended mode.
1. Connected via HDMI
2. Connected via USB-C
I want the Display is connected with HDMI port that should be the Display#1. However after reboot when both the display is connected the HDMI is becoming Display#2 and USB-C becoming Display#1.
Even I connect the Display with HDMI only that shows Display#1 and after that when I connect the Display with USB-C, the HDMI display is changed to Display#2 instead of Display#1.
In short the display connected with USB-C always becoming Display#1 even the display is also connected with HDMI, and that I am unable to change.
Checked in bios and other settings in Win10, but no luck.
Please suggest if there is any option to change this priority to HDMI port....
Thanks

The display number is only used as an identifier in Windows. If you want to make a certain display the main display change the setting shown in the screenshot (found by right clicking on the desktop and selecting display settings then scrolling down).

Thanks for your reply however this is not the issue. The hdmi is becoming secondary when connecting to the usb-c display….

Like @d5123101 said ... you can't change the Display Numbers. However, it should not matter because either can be the "main display" and you can change which one is on the right/left of each other.
If that doesn't help correct you issue, then you might have to move them on your desk, or even using adapters to connect to different input ports.
