    Second monitor lost signal after restart or sleep


    Hi there,I have an issue with my Windows 10 to detect my second monitor. My computer has GVA output and Displayport output. I connect two monitors, one is connected with GVA port, another one is connected with displayport. The second monitor has HDMI input port only, so I use a Displayport to HDMI cable.When my computer starts, both monitors work fine, I can see the Windows log on both screens. Then the second monitor connected by Displayport/HDMI ports lost signal before the login screen shows up. The primary screen connected with GVA works fine. So, I can still login my Windows.In Wind

    Second Monitor has No Signal

    Hi,

    To assist you further with your concern about no signal on your second monitor, we would like to get some information from you:

    • What is the make and model of your computer?
    • Did you try to check if the second monitor will work if installed as the primary monitor?
    • Aside from checking the cables, did you try to use a different cable?
    • Are the right monitor drivers installed on your computer?
    • Does your video card has the right settings for using two monitors?
    • Did you update your video card driver?

    We are waiting for your reply.

    Error: No signal on second monitor after upgrade to Windows 10

    Hi,

    My PC connects to 2 monitors. The first one is HP LP2465, and the second one is the Wacom Cintiq 21UX (2010, this monitor is also a tablet). It has been working well after I upgraded from Windows 7 to 10. A couple of weeks ago I suddenly lost the Cintiq.

    When I restart the computer, I can see the BIOS screen, then see the windows logo on both screens, then the first monitor would just show login screen and the second monitor would report no signal.

    I updated my Windows, also downloaded the latest driver for my Radeon HD 6570. When I right clicked on the desktop and chose "Display" it shows only 1 monitor. I have been searching the internet and tried various suggestions but nothing works. The computer
    can't seem to detect the second monitor at all.

    Please help.

    Error: No signal on second monitor after upgrade to Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    I understand your inconvenience caused to you with accessing the second monitor, we will help you with this issue.

    This issue might have occurred due to outdated/ corrupted drivers.

    As you have already tried to update the drivers and issue still persists, I suggest you to uninstall the existing drivers for second monitor and re0install them from the manufacturer's website.

    Step 1: Steps to uninstall the drivers for the Display Adapter.

    • Press Windows key + X key when you are at desktop.
    • Select Device Manager.
    • Expand Display Adapter.
    • Right on the Display Adapter and click on
      Uninstall
      .
    • Restart the computer.

    Step 2: Also, contact the manufacturer's website and try to install those drivers for your device.

    You can install Windows 8/8.1 drivers in compatibility mode if there are no Windows 10 compatible drivers.

    Follow the steps to install in Compatibility mode:

    • Download the updated driver from the manufacturer’s website.
    • Right click the driver installation file and select
      Properties then tap or click the Compatibility tab.
    • Place a check in the Run this program in compatibility mode for: box.
    • Tap the drop down box and select a previous operating system, then tap or click
      OK.
    • Try installing the driver and check.

    To know more about this issue, I suggest you to refer to the article by
