I just upgraded to Windows 11 and am having issues with display over three monitors. My home screen did not change and displays correctly, but my two additional high res monitors show double desk tops on each one ie. when you identify the screens it shows 1 over 1 on the first screen and 2 over 2 on the second. I can display what I need to and stretch it over the two monitors but it has split the screen horizontally with the same info above and below. Not sure why this changed and how to fix it. I can't work like this.

It looks like Windows 11 is duplicating your two extra monitors. Are both monitors connected through the same type of port, and have you checked Settings > System > Display?
Go there, make sure "Extend these displays" is selected under Multiple displays, check each monitor’s resolution matches its native setting, and use Identify to see that each monitor has a unique number. If it still shows double desktops, update your graphics driver through Device Manager or the manufacturer’s site.
There has been no change to the connections of the monitors. Extend desktop is on, resolution is correct and unchanged, drivers were updated with change to Windows 11 so says up to date. Each monitor has it's own identification number, just shows twice- on top half and bottom half.
Thanks for the update. Since your setup looks right, the issue is likely with how Windows 11 is showing your screens after the upgrade.
Try this: go to Settings > System > Display > Advanced display, and make sure each monitor is set to its recommended refresh rate. Then open your graphics card settings (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel) and check that each monitor uses its correct resolution and the scaling is set to 100%. If the screens still look doubled, unplug the two extra monitors, restart your computer, and plug them back in one at a time so Windows can reset the display setup.
