    external monitors switch off randomly - possibly connected to Skype for Business usage?

    Hi Robert,

    It is possible that you're experiencing issues with your external monitors due to corrupted or outdated drivers. To assist you better, I'd like to gather more information:

    • Are you using the same device when connecting your laptop to your external monitors?
    • Have you tried updating your drivers?

    Meanwhile, if not, I suggest that you follow the steps in this article about updating drivers in Windows
    10.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    External Monitor with Quicken

    Hi Mark,

    It is possible that the display resolution automatically adjusts after connecting to an external monitor. For us to properly isolate this issue, we have some questions for you:

    • Are you experiencing the same issue even without using the Quicken tool?
    • Have you checked if the display resolution settings of the Surface device and the external monitor is the same?
    • Have you tried checking for a graphics device driver update?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done to isolate the issue?

    We're looking forward to your response.

    Connecting to external monitor

    I just upgraded to Windows 10, but am unable to connect my Lenovo X1 Carbon to an external monitor (tried two separate monitors). Before it would automatically detect the monitor, now it only has 1 listed when I go into Settings / Display. I found the "Windows
    button + P" option online, but when I highlight Duplicate or Extend I am unable to "select" or "enter" them.

    How can I make Windows detect my external monitor? (I am using the same cord that has always worked to connect my monitor before.) Thanks!
