PowerPoint 2016 and onward has a feature called Presenter View.  When the PC detects an additional display (Projector, TV, Secondary Monitor) the PC will assume the secondary display is used for presenting to a group.  Here are some steps to enable or disable this feature.  Once you change this setting, the PC will maintain this selection.

Instructions:

  1. Open PowerPoint.  If you are in a classroom this screen should show on the PC monitor on the desktop as well as the Projector or TV in the room.
