Windows 10: Second monitor not detected after upgrade to win10

I have just upgraded my system to Windows 10 after installing a brand new Hard Drive.
The system was originally on Windows 7 and the second monitor was working perfectly. The USB 2.0 VGA device is plugged in is working properly and in device manager the diver is up to date and working properly.


Also in the device manager under display adapters > Intel G41 Express Chipset (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1) > The driver is up to date as well. The hardware ids are as follows: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2E32&SUBSYS_2A8C103C&REV_03


Here is what my system is made of:


Operating System
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
CPU
Intel Pentium E5800 @ 3.20GHz
Wolfdale 45nm Technology
RAM
4.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 399MHz (6-6-6-15)
Motherboard
FOXCONN 2A8C (CPU 1) 44 °C
Graphics

Intel G41 Express Chipset (HP)
Storage
931GB Western Digital WDC WD10EZEX-08WN4A0 ATA Device (SATA ) 36 °C
298GB SABRENT SCSI Disk Device (USB (SATA) ) 30 °C
Optical Drives

Any idea why my second monitor is not being picked up or detected at all?

Many thanks

Second monitor not detected

Hello,

May we know if you've already tried the suggestion provided by Robert Aldwinckle on forums on this

thread?

If Windows can't detect your second monitor, it's usually a driver problem. It could be due to your video driver being outdated, incorrect or faulty. It's also possible that your monitor driver is causing the problem.

Since the issue occurred after the latest update, it's possible that the video or monitor drivers require an update. Try looking for the updated version of the drivers on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions.

If the issue persists, try to roll back the drivers to the last good configuration. To do that, you may follow these steps:

• Right-click the Start button and select Device Manager.
• Right-click your device driver, select Properties, and browse to the
  Driver tab.
• Press the Roll Back Driver option if available, and Windows 10 will begin the process.

Let us know how it turns out.

Second monitor not detected after update

Hi Tom,

There are several reasons that could have caused the issue you are experiencing. One of these is the update you previously performed in Windows, either it was not configured properly by the system or the update components were corrupted. Kindly answer the
following questions for clarification:

• Have you tried updating the monitor and display drivers?
• Have you tried to use another user profile to check if the issue re-occurs?

Furthermore, we suggest that you add the other monitor manually. This is to ensure that the second monitor is still connected after the update. Here are the steps:

• Type connected devices and open Connected Devices on the
  Windows Search bar.
• Click Add devices.
• Select the Second screen.
• Pick one of the 3 options: Duplicate, Extend, and the Second screen only.
• The Duplicate option will duplicate the primary display to secondary display.
• The Extend option will unite two monitors so you can use them both as one.
• The Second screen only option will, obviously, disable primary and use only the secondary monitor.
• Once you’ve chosen the preferred mode, save changes.

We're looking forward to your response.
