Windows 10: Generic PnP Monitor

I am using a Microsoft Surface Book 2 with a Surface Dock connected to an Electriq 24' 4K HDR monitor via a mini DP to HDMI adapter. I cannot get anything on the monitor to appear. I can switch from extend, duplicate and display on monitor 2 and it does nothing, aside from turn off the screen in the case of the latter. When I go to advanced settings it says "Display 2 isn't active". If anyone could help that would be much appreciated. I am going to try using a mini DP to DP adapter instead so I'll see how that goes, however I don't suspect it will make a difference, as this worked fine on my previous monitor.

Generic PNP monitor

Hello,

I use a CAD program that apparently has a problem with my ASUS 4K monitor. Seems I've tried every which way to get Window to recognize my monitor but, all I get is . . generic PnP monitor with an old 2006 driver. I've downloaded the current monitor
but, Windows won't use it.

Gone through a number of help suggestions including disconnecting the monitor, reconnecting, re-starts, delete driver, re-install . . .llllllll

Any advice would be most welcome.

Thanks,

Tom
