VGA to hdmi adapter

just purchased a computer with Windows 11. I want to connect a monitor with a VGA male connection. I bought a n Insignia vga to hdmi adapter and connected it through HDMI. However, the monitor has a floating bubble that says "no vga cable”. What’s going on? How do I make this work? Thank you

 

VGA to HDMI adapter not working in Windows 10 - Vention adapter - Linux works

The adapter converts an aging HP laptop secondary display (vga) to HDMI so I do not have to switch my monitor back and forth. All other displays are HDMI. I picked the Vention adapter since it had the Amazon's Choice for "vga to hdmi" tag on it. It runs perfectly with Mint 20.2 out of the box. I assumed Windows would work but just re-booted into Windows 10. The secondary display shows up blank - it does flash a little HDMI pop-up from the monitor detecting mode change then shuts down as if no signal.

Windows 10 is up to date with all patches.

Secondary display does not show up in Device Manager.

Tried "Multiple Displays" setup and performed identify - no display on that channel. Main display shows "1|2". Detect does not find secondary display.

Removed HDMI cable from display - waited 10 seconds and plugged HDMI back in and it did not help - this usually works when HDMI EDID detection hangs.

Reboot does not help.

All this works fine with no adapter, just VGA cable and manually changing input on secondary monitor.

Anyway, my new dual monitor KVM switch works perfectly but this problem kinda defeats the KVM purpose. I was only switching KB+Mouse and using different monitor ports for different machines.

As I said before, this all (including vga-to-hdmi adapter) works perfectly on Mint 20.2 - a Ubuntu 20.2 derivative that "Just Works".

Thanks in advance for any suggestions to get the VGA-to_HDMI adapter work with Windows 10.

Any ideas?

 

My hdmi to vga adapter doesnt work

Hi Michal,

I'm Christine, a Windows user like you. I'll do my best to help you. I can see here that your VGA to HDMI Adapter Converter is not working.

Have you checked if it will work using VGA to HDMI?

Please check the "About this item section" on the link that you've posted, it says

"ONLY FROM VGA-TO-HDMI Displays (TV/monitors).It only converts from VGA (analog signal output ) to HDMI (digital signal).Can NOT be used as a HDMI-to-VGA converter cable".

Thank you,
