We're not 100% sure yet. I'll update my blog post to say 'may well' or
something like that. So far, we have multiple reports of affected
hybrid laptops - those are the ones with both an Intel adapter and an
NVIDIA or AMD adapter, not intended to drive multiple screens but
rather intended to use the Intel adapter when just sitting at a desktop
but the dedicated adapter when running a game, that sort of thing.

We have one report of a system with two 'regular' adapters, both
connected to monitors, being affected.

We have two reports of hybrid laptops *not* being affected.

And we have - so far as I can tell - no reports of a system with just
one video adapter being affected.

So we can't say absolutely all multi-adapter cases are affected, but so
far it seems to be the case that *only* multi-adapter cases are
affected, and given the reports so far, at least a fair percentage of
all multi-adapter cases are affected.
