  1. External monitor not being recognized


    Hi guys,

    I have an HP 8570w elitebook Win10 with a Nvidia K2000M graphics card. For years my Philips 274E 27'' monitor was working just fine. Since a month ago, I have no idea what happened but my monitor is not recognized. When I plug the display adapter, sometimes it works but mostly not. Whenever it works, the moment I put the laptop on sleep or restart it, monitor is gone, not recognized again. I tried literally everything there is on the internet, unplug everything replug, cables are fine since it works with other laptop, updated/downgraded drivers, unistalled/reinstalled device, literally nothing works. I would really appreciate if anyone can help, been trying for a month without success.

  2. Laptop suddenly stopped recognizing the external monitor

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    To assist you better, I would like to ask if the laptop is unable to recognize only the external monitor or other external devices also.

    I suggest you to run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter by following the steps below:

    • Click on the Start button, and type “Troubleshooting” on the search bar.
    • Click on “Hardware and Devices”.
    • A pop-up will appear, click on the “Next” button and your hardware troubleshooting will start.

    Hope the information is helpful. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

    Windows 10 won't recognize external monitor

    I have a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro with an ASUS MX279 external monitor. I just upgraded from 8.1 to Windows 10 and my computer does not recognize my external monitor. It doesn't look like ASUS has a Windows 10 driver on their website yet. Any suggestions on how
    I can get my external monitor to work?

    Thanks -

    Alan
