    External monitors detected but not active, how can I fix this?


    I am using a dock to connect my 2 external monitors, I recently updated my windows 11 and now both external monitors are not displaying anything, 'no signal'. The monitors and cables are fine because they work when I connect directly to my laptop. The dock aslo works because the keyboard and mouse that attach via it are still functioning. Within the display settings, the external monitors are detected but active. How can I fix this?Thanks!

    :)

    External Monitor not detected

    I am running windows 10 on a MacBook Pro using bootcamp. I use a imac as an external monitor. Windows cannot "detect" the monitor. using a firewire connection, which works splendidly under OS. Any suggestions?

    External Monitor is detected, but black

    My monitor was working perfectly this morning. I left for lunch and came back to a black screen. I've tried installing updates and the hdmi cord, but nothing has fixed this.

    The monitor is detected, as I can drag windows over to it. It's just black. Any suggestions?
