It's an HD install, and I have done the sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade. I am not sure about the DSL File Restore.
when the external monitor is plugged in, and the normal monitor is disabled via "DSL Control Centre/Set Screen Resolution (ARandR)" it only lists the external monitor.

when the external monitor is plugged in but disabled via "DSL Control Centre/Set Screen Resolution (ARandR)" it only lists the internal monitor.
$ xrandr --listmonitors

When both are active I get this:
$ xrandr --listmonitors
Monitors: 2
0: +*HDMI-1 1680/434x1050/270+0+0 HDMI-1
1: +eDP-1 1366/256x768/144+1680+0 eDP-1
When I reboot, both screens are then active (even though I left it with the internal monitor disabled). The place where I enter my login and password are on the (now active and primary) internal monitor.
