    Can't connect to second screen


    I have a MSI laptop (GL62 model) with HDMI video output and I tried to connect to my old LG monitor with VGA input. This morning I re-installed my windows and 2 monitors is working fine with HDMI to VGA adapter. But then I restart windows, some windows repair happened an then I can't detect second monitor. If I remove cable like this, the second monitor will out "Power saving mode", if I reject adapter from laptop, it still in "power saving mode".

    I try to Google a lot but nothing can help me. I know the last way to fix it is re-install windows again but it will happen again because I've try.

    Thanks in advance!

    Returning Windows to Second Screen

    Hello Kate,

    Let's try to isolate the issue and see what is preventing you from using Windows to second screen. Kindly provide us the following information:

    • When you turned on your computer, does it give you an extended display for both monitor screen and your laptop?
    • Is your monitor screen already connected to your laptop before turning it on?
    • What cable are you using to connect your second monitor to your laptop?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried?
