Single screen but my computer detects 2

Solved

Hello,
I'm reaching out to you because I've been having a little issue for some time: My laptop detects 2 screens even though I only have one.
It's very annoying at startup when it decides to boot up on screen 2; I can see my wallpaper but not my desktop or icons.
I've tried to fix it but I'm not very good with computers and I don't know where I
should make the changes (depending on where I click, I get a "Radeon graphics AMD" window that opens or an "Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel" with essentially the same things inside).

If anyone has experienced this problem or knows how to solve it, please contact me.

Thank you.

    Your computer thinks it is connected to a video projector.
    So press [windows] + [P] and choose the PC screen only mode.

    According to your description, your problem seems quite simple: you right-click and go to screen resolution, then in multiple displays you set it to "Show the desktop only on 1" (it should normally be on 1 if it is your main screen, otherwise you can try 2 as well) and it should normally work. Well, I hope it works for you.
