  1. Laptop shows windows only with HDMI


    Hello,My notebook shows windows only with a hdmi connected to an external monitor.I can see also the BIOS Screen on my notebook.I have 2 hard drives. On the first one is my actual windows 10 pro with the latest updates. On the other hard drive was a windows 10 pro without updates.When i open the old Windows without windows update, the screen of my laptop shows windows. After i did the updates and restarted it, i was not able to see windows on the laptop.I assume, that the problem is related to a windows update.How could you help me?Thank you

    :)

  2. 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.

    Edit 11:43 PM

    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.

    Why exactly is ATi considered be better at HDMI?

    I plug my HDMI cable into the card, then into my TV. Those are the steps that I have to do. All the steps you list make absolutely no sense to me.

    not showing hdmi audio playback option

    Hello Brahmanandarath,

    I would suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps. First check if “HDMI Output” is selected as the default device.

    • Click Start and select Control Panel.
    • On the right hand side of the screen, under View by: click the drop-down icon and select Large icons.
    • Click Sound.
    • If you do not have the HDMI Output listed under “Playback” tab, right click in the
      playback window and select Show Disabled Device and
      Show Disconnected Device.
    • If the HDMI Output option appears, right-click HDMI Output
      and select Default Device.
    • Now the audio must be playing on HDMI.
    Also try updating the recent HDMI drivers from the manufacturer’s website and check if the issue is resolved.

    Click on the link below for more information on updating the drivers.

    Redirecting

    You may also unplug and plug in back the HDMI output and check.

    Hope this information is helpful.
