Well, it reads to me that the max resolution of a monitor is 4096 (w) x 2048 (h) -- so the 3860 is okay, but the 2160 is too high. If I drop down the resolution to 2560x1440 then it works as expected, but I didn't want to use this resolution and lose the 4K capability. So... I followed this support link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2592687/remote-desktop-protocol - -rdp-8-0-update-for-windows-7-and-windows-serve I found that RDP 8.0 was already installed! But I needed to enable it using further instructions from the link.... With RDP 8.0 enabled, I get the desired full resolution of both screens! Thanks for the heads up on the limitations from the link you provided.
