    DisplayPort not detecting main monitor after uninstalling generic PNP monitor drivers


    Device manager is displaying both of my monitors as generic PNP monitors, I uninstalled old PNP drivers and instantly my main monitor stopped displaying. I figured my GPU wasn’t detecting the DisplayPort so I powered off my PC and unplugged everything from the motherboard and waited 30 seconds before plugging it back in. When I powered up my PC the white light came on then flashed and went red and gave me DisplayPort no signal. Unsure I just did a whole DDU to my GPU, and when I restarted my pc into safe mode the VG27AQ displayed as my main monitor again. But once I reinstalled the Radeon drivers it only detected my MSI AG32C. Device manager is showing both monitors are connected, the AG32C comes up in windows setting as display 1, and the VG27AQ shows as display 2 but it says windows doesn’t detect the monitor even though there is 2 monitors in my display settings. Don’t know what to do here, I appreciate any help.
