Does the laptop monitor work when playing the games, or do both of them go to a black screen.
First things first, as always check that your drivers are up to date.

Right click on your desktop and go to screen resolution. Now go to advanced settings and check the name of the graphics chip. Then go on Intel or AMD's (depending on which manufacturer made the chip) and in the search bar look up the name of the chip and download the latest drivers. Reset computer after downloading and check to see if the games are working. If this doesn't work try changing the resolution to the Desktop's exact resolution, rather than the laptop's.
