External monitor blanking often

Hi,

Please answer these questions to assist you better.

• What is the make and model of your computer and external monitor?
• Have you installed all pending Windows and driver updates?
• Do you get any error message?

I suggest you to install all pending Windows updates in your PC and also update Display drivers. Follow the steps below.

Step 1: I would suggest you to check and install any latest Windows Updates available.

• Go to Start and then Settings.
• Click on Update and Recovery.
• Check for updates under
  Windows Updates.
• Restart the system and check if the issue is resolved.

Step 2: Please refer to the following Wiki article created by
Andre Da Costa on How to: Install and Update drivers in Windows 10.

Hard reset Recovery screen not showing on external monitor.

I'm trying to factory reset a HP stream 14' laptop because I forgot the password. The screen is broken but the computer still works through an external monitor. The issue is the Recovery screen won't load on my external monitor. The windows will load fine normally, but when performing a factory reset by restarting the computer and pressing F11 the recovery screen doesn't load on the external monitor (Roku tv). Seems as if the monitor don't recognize the recovery part. Any help?

 

How can I use an external monitor for the recovery operations?

Hi Ruz,

• Yes, the external monitor is set as the main display (but occasionally I experience that this setting changes to "extend these displays" without me doing anything.)
• I access "advanced startup" via Settings>Update&security>Recovery>Advanced Startup

As an additional information, during a routine startup until the screen with the blue windows logo ends the external monitor doesn't receive any signal. Only after this moment the monitor of the laptop shuts down* and the external monitor starts displaying
stuff...

*My laptop's monitor still works actually but it's totally dark because the backlight is dead. Directing a torch towards the screen still enables me to check if it displays something.
