Windows 10: multiple monitor HP S2031

I've had a second monitor HP S2031 that worked well for several years with windows 10. After an up grade of windows 10 it cannot maintain a display. It will power on then go black after a second or two. My computer recognizes it and will send all display to it if it is attached but it's just a black screen so I can't see or respond to anything if it is connected to the pc, even if the monitor is turned off. If I restart the computer the monitor seems to work fine until I touch a key then it immediately goes black. If I Win+P I can select 1 display only and all things say the monitor is working correctly but it isn't and if I select extended or second screen only the problem continues. I can connect it to another computer that does not have the latest windows update and it works fine. Does anyone have a suggestion besides buying another monitor? Or getting a better OS?

Hi Ron,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

• What changes did you make in the BIOS? As making the changes in the BIOS is only recommended by Microsoft if done by the manufacturer.
  

• How are you connecting to the 2nd monitor?

I suggest you to follow the steps from this article below:

[Applies to Windows 10 as well]

Regards.
