Windows 10: Laptop freezes when switching from screen to TV (HDMI)

Hello,
I have a Fujitsu Stylistic 702Q laptop connected to the TV with HDMI cable. To avoid distraction when watching a movie, I have set the dual display to Secondary only. So when I connect the laptop to the TV the laptop screen turns off and I watch on the TV. When I switch off the TV the laptop display switches on.

When I want to play some baby songs from YouTube for my son, I connect the Bluetooth speaker, start playing and then switch off the TV so he doesn't have to stare at the large screen all the time and strains his baby eyes. Occasionally I switch on the TV again so I can skip the commercials.

The problem is that my laptop doesn't switch to the TV, but it freezes and I can do nothing but switch off and back on. This happens every time I attempt to switch on the TV. At first I suspected Windows Update had replaced the Intel graphics driver. I downloaded latest Intel HD 4000 graphics driver, upgraded and restarted. I confirmed with Intel Control Panel that I have that driver, but the issue persists. Please help me.

Thank you in advance.

:)

Connecting laptop running windows 10 to hdtv with hdmi

I'm not very tech savvy.

• I know how to run the HDMI cable between laptop and tv.
• I know how to set my tv to use correct HDMI port.

What I need to know is how I tell my laptop to recognize my tv and configure it to use my tv as a monitor.

Anyone that can tell me step by step how to do this in windows 10?

Thanks.

Thanks for all the help. Hooked up the HDMI cable, plugged tv back in, started laptop up, switched the tv to correct HDMI port and viola...there was my laptop start screen on my tv! Didn't have to do anything but make a few display
adjustments!

Thanks again, everyone.

 

Laptop not recognizing TV through HDMI connection

Hello everyone!

First I do apologize if this is not the correct section for this thread.

I've had issues connecting my laptop to TV for the past day. Connection is done through an HDMI cable. Connection was good up until it randomly turned off itself while playing a game. There have been no hardware or software changes whatsoever that would affect it.

TV is SAMSUNG, Model: UE32J4000AW. Laptop info is available in My PC Specs. (laptop is brand new, week or two old)

Here's what I've tried so far:

• 3 different HDMI cables
• switching between ports on TV
• tried all projection options on Laptop
• Disable / Enable both Intel and Nvidia drivers
• Rollback Intel GPU driver and installed it back to latest version
• Re-installed Nvidia driver
• Restarted PC and TV
• Scan for hardware changes through Device Manager
• Checked Intel and Nvidia control panels - there were no available options
• Apparently both HDMI ports on the TV work as I tried them with a tv box.

I think that's all I've tried so far, will add anything else if missed. Open to suggestions.
