  1. second monitor unable to adjust, how do i fix?


    Every time there is a window update, I cant get my second monitor to work properly. I eventually get it figured out, but it usually takes days and lot of uninstalling drivers. Is there a reason why this keeps happening? Is there a better connection I could buy so that this doesnt keep happening.

    :)

  2. Issues while installing a second monitor in Windows 10

    Really? I get a canned answer and nothing else? I posted that I had tried everything that I could find posted online. I did read the post that Andre suggested multiple times prior to posting this request for help. None of it helped.

    My computer does not recognize that there is a second monitor is plugged in. The small step of changing the settings so I can put stuff on the second monitor ISN'T the issue. I am not that dumb. in the device manager there is only the single monitor listed
    at one point there was a unknown device listed but my computer did not know if it was a monitor or a printer.

    There has to be someone out there that knows how to fix this

    Please Help

  3. USB-C port not connecting to second monitor

    Hey there, Zowie Woods,

    Thank you for using our Microsoft Community.

    I understand that sometimes troubleshooting can be a bit time-consuming and the fact that the issue is still not resolved can be frustrating. However, by performing the following steps, we could eliminate some possible causes of the problem. To troubleshoot our issue, let's perform the following steps:

    1. Adjusting monitor resolution

      You can try to adjust the monitor resolution; it is best to adjust to the same resolution as the external monitor.
    2. Change to a different model

      Win Key + P Try changing to a different type of mode to see if you can connect to second monitor successfully.
    In addition, may I ask if this monitor is recognized in the device manager as well as in the BIOS?

    Moreover, the output of different manufacturers' devices is different, and you could also refer to the specific manual of your device for the specific output.

    If there is anything not clear, please do not hesitate to let me know. Thank you for your time and effort working on this issue.

    Have a nice day and stay safe!

    Best regards,

    Unable to adjust brightness

    Hi Prasad,

    Before we proceed, I would like you to provide the information stated below:

    1. When you state "display buttons are not working" what do you exactly mean?

    2. Are you able to adjust the brightness from your monitor settings button?

    This issue could have occurred due to these reasons.

    • Incorrect settings.
    • Corrupt or outdated display driver.

    For now, I suggest that you follow the methods stated below and check if it helps

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to download and install all the available Windows Updates including Optional Updates. Check if it helps.

    Method 2:

    If the issue persists, I suggest you to uninstall and re-install latest display driver from the computer manufacturer website and check if it helps.

    Step 1: Uninstall display driver.

    • Right-click on the Start Button and click on
      Device manager.
    • Double-click on Display Adapters to expand.
    • Right-click on the display adapter driver that is listed and select properties.
    • In the window opened, click on drivers tab.
    • In the drivers tab, Click on Uninstall option.

    Step 2:

    Now re-install display driver from the manufacturer website.

    Hope this helps
