Windows 10: Display recovery HDMI problem after disconnecting monitor.

When I switch off the monitor on HDMI input and I try to switch it on again, it stays black even if the computer is running. It doesn't respond to the keyboard or mouse and won't recover. I have to use a hard restart. I need to switch monitors because I'm using multiple stations and only one has this display recovery problem. Sometimes it's needed to re-install the display driver after this.

Monitor not receiving signal from pc after using hdmi passthrough

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

HDMI Pass-Through does not work with all devices. Before attempting to set up an HDMI Pass-Through connection, you should make sure the source of the signal such as a Blu-ray player or Set Top Box, supports HDMI Pass-Through.

In order to get clarity on this issue and assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

1. Did you try a different HDMI cable to connect your PC to the monitor?
2. When you say "my pc will not display to my monitor", are you able to see any error message on it? For example: 'No signal'.

Meanwhile, try the below suggestions and check if this helps.

• If your monitor has an option in the Menu Button to switch the
  Input Source to HDMI Port, I would suggest you to try it.
• Try completely disconnecting your Xbox from the computer and just connect your computer to the monitor and check if you are able to see the display on the monitor.
• Make sure your display is plugged in and turned on.
• Unplug the video cable from both your display and PC, and then reconnect them firmly. After you reconnect the video cable, try moving your mouse on your display.
• Try connecting to different video outputs on your PC. Sometimes a change in driver can cause the video to be sent to a different display adapter or output.
• If you have your own display adapter installed and connected to your display,
  try connecting your display to the built-in video on the motherboard.
• Check for damaged HDMI cable, loose connections, or faulty adapters.

Hope it helps.

We're looking forward to your response.

 

Windows from HDMI monitor move to DP monitor when monitors go to sleep.

Hi Bobbeloos,



Welcome to post in Microsoft Community.

I'm Mosken, I do apologize for the inconvenience that you're experiencing right now, let me help you figure it out.



According to your description, I knew that you have two external monitors of similar model connected via HDMI and DP, but when the system goes to sleep, the DP-connected monitor goes straight to black, but the HDMI-connected monitor shows "no signal" and then goes black, and when you go to sleep from sleep, the DP-connected monitor goes straight to black All windows in HDMI monitor moved to DP monitor when computer was woken up and the resolution was not normal. If my understanding is wrong, please correct me in the reply.



Based on the available information, the speculation is that when the system goes to sleep, your HDMI connected monitor will be directly disconnected, it is recommended that you turn off "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" by follow steps. "Win" + "X" > "Device Manager" > "Display Adapter", double click "Display Adapter" to expand the entry, you will see a list of your monitor device names, then select your external monitor device names(try both), right click > " Properties" > "Power Management" tab, then uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power", then press Enter to confirm.



The above steps are provided based on the information I have learned so far, I wish that will be helpful to you. If your problem still cannot be solved by these steps, you could tell me the specific situation in the next reply. I will continue to assist you in solving the problem.
