Windows 10: Monitor just shuts off even after replacing cables and updating drivers.

I have a trans friend and due to them coming out fairly recently they have yet to change lots of their accounts and erase their dead name from their life.One place their dead name was at was the root user folder on Windows 10. And so 1 week ago we went through the process of trying to change it. We followed this guide to change the root folder. Since then he has had trouble with the video feed just cutting out until a restart. And sometimes it takes multiple restarts. The time between video feed cuts was lessened when we updated the drivers but has still persisted.We want to keep everything in

using a monitor to extend my screen

Hi Lou,

There are several possible reasons why your LCD monitor suddenly stopped working. It could be that the graphic driver is outdated or could be the cable used is already damaged.

For us to isolate this problem, we would like to ask the following information:

• Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue?
• Have you installed any updates?

In the meantime, please try the following suggestions and see if your laptop will detect the LCD monitor:

• Update the graphic card driver. Check out Update drivers in Windows 10 for the steps.
• Use another cable. Try using another VGA cable to connect the LCD monitor to the laptop.
• Connect the LCD monitor to another computer. To help us isolate the issue, try connecting the LCD monitor to a different computer.

Please let us know how it goes. We're looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards.

 

Second monitor doesn't always display?

Hi Erik,

A secondary display may not resume after sleep due to some issues with the graphics driver or issue with the monitor's video cable. We suggest that you download and update the graphics driver by going to the laptop's manufacturer's support site.

You may also try to replace the monitor's video cable and see if resolves the issue. As we checked the specifications of your monitor, it turns out that it has a DVI-D and VGA ports. You may check your monitor's manual or visit the manufacturer's support
site to get more information.

Let us how it goes after performing the suggested troubleshooting steps.
