  1. Windows 10 - 2nd display not working


    Hi All,


    I have a 2nd monitor connected to my Dell Inspiron 3493 through a HDMI cable, but it is not working. I am getting the options to Duplicate, Extend and project to my 2nd monitor, but when I click on any of the options, nothing happens.



    Here is what I have tried so far:

    >Checked the cable itself, its working fine, I used another laptop to connect to the same monitor and it worked perfectly.

    >Updated the display driver from the Dell website. I can see that the display driver's version matches that of latest one on the Dell website.

    >When I checked on Settings>System>Display>Advanced Display Settings, it says that the 2nd display is not active:


    >When checking on Device Manager, I can see that there are 2 monitors being detected, but nothing I do gets the second screen to work.

    :)

    Unlocked Realtek HD Audio Drivers Windows 7 & 8 (With Dolby Digital Live and DTS Interactive)

    DTS supported natively by Windows 8/8.1 and it should work on windows 10 too just DDL require to unlock your driver .

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

  4. Windows 10 - 2nd display not working

    2nd display is not recognized after windows 10 update

    My laptop is not recognizing my 2nd display. It did work with Windows 10. I am assuming it is now a windows 10 update that is causing the problem. It now just goes back & forth trying to recognize 2nd display. My 2nd display light blinks blue, screen
    stays black. My laptop goes black then back to normal when 2nd display times out.
