Windows 10: USB to HDMI output does not work - even through a docking hub

I have a fairly new HP laptop purchased this year 2022 with Windows 11 installed. For video output there is just one HDMI port on the laptop. My goal is to be able to connect and use two separate monitors.In order to extend and use more than one monitor, a USB hub or docking station i'd imagine should work. I have tried to connect two different hubs / docking stations with HDMI outputs to various USB ports on the laptop. The USB hub works for expanding USB ports just but not for video output no matter what.The first error I receive when plugging in a hub isisplay connection might be limited

2 HDMI C docking station not working.

Hello there I have a laptop ASUS VivoBook S15 and I haven't been able to set up double monitors via C hub/ dock. I've tried to find a solution online but nothing seems to be working. Both monitors work when I connect them directly to the laptop. I've also done the following:

• update drivers.
  
• check cables and connection.
  
• Display settings ( multiple displays, detect other displays etc.)
  

laptop: ASUS VivoBook( i7, 12GB RAM, Windows 11)

Dockstation: HUB Docking Station Tipo-C, w/ Duplo HDMI , USB, VGA, RJ45, card reader, Jack 3.5mm and Tipo-C PD

link: HUB Docking Station Tipo-C, 12 em 1, com Duplo HDMI de Expansão - Goeik



Is this because of Windows 11?

Thank you in advance for your helpI

Microsoft Display Dock as "USB Hub"

Hello guys

I've a Microsoft Display Dock but no need to use it with my Lumia 950 - BUT: I'm searching for an USB Type C or Thunderbolt 3 Dock anyway. So hey, I could use my Microsoft Display Dock for that!

But when I plug it in, I get the message "Try improving the USB connection / DisplayPort connection might not work. Try using a different cable"

Some Facts in advance:

• Laptop is a Dell Precision 5510 with USB Type C / Thunderbolt 3
• Windows 10 Enterprise is installed
• I use the original cables
• USB Ports of the Display Dock work fine
• DisplayPort and HDMI do not work (as the error message says)

Any idea how to get it to work? Is it possible to "daisy chain" the dock?

Thanks a lot,

Manuel

 

Lumia Display Dock and HDMI to VGA adapter

just to understand some constraints:

• HDMI is electrically compatible with DVI
• DP outputs from most PCs have an HDMI compatibility mode that allows for:
  • DP-to-HDMI passive adapters [passive means it just uses wiring (no ICs) between the connectors]
  • DP-to-DVI passive adapters
• In contrast, the USB Type-C output on the Lumia 950XL/950 phone and the DP output on the Display Dock do not have HDMI compatibility mode. To drive HDMI, DVI (or VGA), they require active adapters incorporating bridge ICs. The tipoff is usually that such
  an adapter costs $20-$40 instead of ~$10 for a passive adapter. There’s no good way to tell active versus passive other than by part # and spec.
