Hi Frank,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand the inconvenience you are facing currently.

I would appreciate if you can provide us the following information to help us understand the issue better.

• What is the make and model of the laptop?
• How exactly is your laptop connected to LG TV?
• Is it through HDMI cable?

Firstly I would suggest you to update the display drivers and then try to set up multiple monitors.

Follow the below steps to update the Graphics card drivers and check if it helps:

• Click on 'Start' and type 'Device Manager' in the start search box and press enter.
• Click on the “Display adapters” to expand the list.
• Right-click on drivers and update it.
• If there are no update available, then go ahead and reinstall the driver by clicking on 'Uninstall'.
• Restart the PC

Laptop External Monitor Problem

Discovered the best interim solution and best way to live this problem:

• I have changed my LG TV auto power setting to OFF - therefore the monitor remains ON constantly and therefore laptop instantly presents a display to my monitor, sleep, restart etc..

The critical issues being in this bizarre problem :-

• Windows 10 HP laptop is both physically and S/W connected to LG monitor
• LG monitor can take up to 45mins to present this display on each and every day
• Connected laptop via HDMI to three other monitors(TV’s etc), same problem, one TV was less than six months old
• There appears to be raised problems generally in relation to such an external monitor problem on the WWW
• Never incurred such a problem in Windows 7

I stress these are the facts of my problem and thank you again
