Windows 10: Dual monitor with laptop. They NEVER wake up automatically

I've had this problem with an HP laptop and dock, and a Lenovo laptop with J5Create hub. If waking or booting, I always have to dis/re-connect the HDMI for one or both monitors to get them to wake up (sometimes multiple times). Sometimes I have to dis/re-connect the hub to get it to wake up (sometimes multiple times).

Dual Monitors hooked to a laptop

I've got a Windows 10 laptop which is convertible to a tablet. Specifically, you can turn the screen around and lay it down for note taking in class. What I'm trying to do is hook the laptop to a dual monitor setup. Every time my computer is put into the
tablet mode it will not put an image out onto my dual monitors, then I have to reconfigure the display settings. I just want to know how to have it automatically detect my dual monitors being plugged in and to display the image on the monitors whether the

Dual Monitor Does not wake up from sleep

To further troubleshoot the dual monitor issue, we suggest that you try the following workaround:

• Check the cable connection of your monitor. Try to test if the issue will still persist after using a different cable.
• Change the Turn off the display time in the
  Power Options. We suggest selecting a longer timeframe from the drop-down menu and check if you will still encounter the issue.
• If you are using a USB mouse and keyboard, you can also change its settings and see if it helps. To get started, open the
  Device Manager > locate the mouse/keyboard
  then click it to expand > right-click mouse/keyboard
  and click Properties > Select Power Management
  tab > add a check mark on Allow this device to wake the computer.

Once you have tried all of these, let us know the end result.
