    Laptop + Monitor resets where to send signal to laptop instead of 4k monitor when restarted


    Hi,

    First up, this situation has been going on for quite some time (several years at least) I use the windows key + P to put signal from my laptop to the 4k monitor connected with miniport (only one available for 4k) the when I restart the computer or shut down until next days opperation it resets to the laptop display for no reason.


    I have read all possible solutions here on Microsloths web site , but to no avail.


    Has anyone found an answer that is not listed yet?


    No other drivers installed except NVidia from their site with experience being the installer.

    Newest driver installed.

    No other problems occurring in any other way.

    It appears there is no answer but I thought I would try here just in case someone found something quirky that works.


    Thanks!

    :)

    4K monitor displaying from 1080p laptop

    Hi Sean,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We would need some information.

    May I know the Make and the Model of the Laptop?



    Graphic card of the Laptop should be compatible with the 4k Monitor to play 4k Video

    Refer this link to check the Compatibility list:
    Dell Compatibility list.



    Hope it helps.

    Let us know if you got the help you needed by clicking Yes or No.



    Thanks,

    1080p Laptop Sceen to 4K Monitor

    Hi All,

    I recently updated to a 4K Monitor which i have attached as a second display to my Alienware 1080P Laptop.

    I have noticed at first setup that the 4K monitor has everything so small due to its DPI advantage but its unreadable.

    If i change the resolution to 125% .. 150% the screen becomes blurry.

    If i change the main display to my Monitor it becomes crystal clear at 150% but my laptop screen becomes blurry and zoomed in.

    any help would be great.

    Thanks

    4K monitor displaying from 1080p laptop

    Hi I have a quick question (hope this is the right category). I recently purchased a Dell 4k monitor (P2415Q) to use on my Asus 1080p laptop. I did noticed that I was able to stream 4k video online fine (extended display mode), however I will be using the
    4k display mainly for photo viewing/editing. Because my laptop is 1080p, does that mean the default windows 10 Images software will display my images in 1080p format? Or will it convert to the 4k due to the monitor? After trying to research this question online
    I just got all confused and am probably overthinking this question. Thanks!
