    Customizing Display Preview


    The Advanced Display Settings and the Customizing display preview are missing from my Display Settings. Also the Orientation Option is disabled.



    I had these options available to me last week until windows 10 updated.

    I have tried everything, Factory reset, Update drivers, re-install windows 10, Rollback feature is grayed out in device manager, drivers are up to date, detect monitor is grayed out.


    I am trying to connect a second monitor to my laptop through HMDI (I have been using this monitor for 6 months until windows recently updated)


    Now when the monitor is connected to the laptop the monitor displays (No Video Signal)


    I have tried different cords, and different monitors.


    My display settings now looks like this instead of what it originally looked like before

    I have been told that windows has disabled the double monitor feature for some laptops or that the settings to change or add dual monitors or mirror is now displayed somewhere else?


    Is there away for me to connect my monitor using HDMI or am I out of luck?
