- While still holding-down the windows button, press the “P” button until ‘Duplicate’ is highlighted.
- With the PC and projector both turned-on, keypress the windows and “P” buttons at the same time.

Is there a permanent fix?
This issue is one of those bugs for which the MS Office community-at-large is working hard to find a solution. We will update this post as soon as this is resolved.
