Connecting a Second Monitor to Laptop

Hello,

I am trying to work from home with multiple monitors. I have one monitor connected via HDMI cable. I have the second monitor connected via a USB to HDMI cable, but the screen is not being detected by my Laptop.

I have no other output ports on my laptop besides the one HDMI port and the usb ports. Is there any way to get my laptop to detect the monitor connected via USB to HDMI cable? Or do I need a USB to HDMI adapter?

 

Windows 10 does not recognise second monitor

Hi Raffaele,

For us to sort out this problem with your dual monitors, we'd like to gather more information about what happened so we can address the issue appropriately. Below are a few questions we'd like to ask:

• Does the monitor on the laptop work if you disconnect the other monitor?
• Is the second monitor connected to the laptop using a DVI, HDMI, or DisplayPort cable?

While waiting for your feedback, we suggest that you disconnect the second monitor from the laptop and check if its own monitor is working. If not, restart the laptop and check again.

Update us with the result.

Regards.
