  1. Secondary monitor display turns off, even though it's still connected to my laptop


    Hello, recently I've run into an issue with a secondary monitor that I use.I have a secondary monitor connected to my laptop, but lately, I've run into an issue where the monitor will randomly shut off, even though it's still connected to the computer. What I mean is, my computer still recognizes that a secondary monitor is connected, and my desktop is still split in two/has the added space and everything, but the display for the monitor itself just randomly shuts off. No idea what could be causing this, and I've tried everything I can think of in terms of possible fixes. Updating my graphics

    No display on secondary monitor when connected using HDMI cable

    Hi,

    I am using a Windows 10 laptop, I have a problem where my second display which is connected via HDMI is detected and seems to get a signal as it turns on but it doesn't display an image. My primary monitor uses the internal Intel gpu while my secondary is
    using the dedicated Nvidia gpu. I've tried to change a few settings in the Nvidia control panel but still didn't manage to do anything. Any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks,

    MJ

  3. Setting Up A Older Secondary Monitor

    ok decided to reopen in the hopes someone might have a solution for a new issues i noticed. when i do a restart the secondary monitor takes over, and not until windows is about to go to the desktop does the secondary monitor turn off and the primary display turn on. i would think there is some way to make the default monitor stay on during a reboot. any suggestion would be great. thanks

    No display on secondary monitor when connected using HDMI cable

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you are unable to get the secondary display working when connected through HDMI cable.



    I would suggest you to try connecting the monitor using a VGA cable and check if the display is working on second monitor. Also, you can try updating the NVidia drivers from the

    manufacturer’s website
    .



    As you have mentioned that you have tried changing some settings in NVidia control panel, in order to save your time by not asking you to follow the same steps, I would like to know the settings you have tried to change. Also, I
    would like to know the make and model of the PC.



    Hope it helps.
