Windows 10: hdmi port not working after windows 10 update

Solution is to un-install the January 2024 update

:)

 

HDMI Port Stopped Working

I generally use a second monitor via an HDMI cable while working. However, it stopped working today.

I checked these:

• Windows cannot detect a second monitor when HDMI cable is connected to the second monitor.
• HDMI cable which I use works if another device is connected to the second monitor.
• My computer detects my HDMI-to-VGA converter through HDMI port.

My computer runs Windows 10 Home with latest updates installed.

I suspect this is due to a driver error. How can I fix this problem?

Windows 11 home ----HDMI Port not working or listed in Device Manager -- after Windows Update disabled my AMD Adrenaline Graphics update and Chipset update.... that was downloaded and installed from the AMD website...but I did the "Rollback Driver" on the driver but still no HDMI working.....and device manager still doesn't list anything about HD Graphics in list.... just HD audio is listed ? How can I reinstall or recover my HDMI port ? .... or how would my HDMI be listed in Device Manager?
