Windows 10: Is anyone else having issues recognizing an external monitor after the most recent Windows...

My computer is no longer recognizing any external monitors, regardless of whether I use an HDMI or a usb-c adapter. This seemed to happen after I ran a Windows update on 1/2/2024. Any help would be appreciated

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

 

External monitor display settings

Hi,



Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



I understand that you are facing issues with the display scaling on your external displays. We will certainly look into this for you.

As you are using Vizio TV, you may have to try using custom resolution settings if the in-built settings do not provide the required settings.

For better clarity, please let us know:

• What is the version of Windows 10 that is currently installed on your computer? You can click on Search and type
  winver.
• Are you aware of any recent changes to the system, such as updates, after which you are facing this issue?
• What is the make and model of your computer?

Meanwhile, I would suggest you to check the steps mentioned in the Workaround section in

I would also suggest you to check the Display drivers. Please refer
