Windows 10: VGA not working

Hello, i have a custom built PC
and an LG monitor plugged in already for a while with HDMI.
Now i got a second monitor (Dell) with VGA cable but Windows 10 says it can't detect the second monitor

What now?

Thanks in advance

:)

 

Windows 10 second monitor; Windows 10 say it cannot detect a second monitor.

I managed to get it working this evening. Used a VGA cable along with a VGA to display port adapter and it worked. Seems to be a problem with DVI in my case.

Laptop to TV through VGA not working

Hello Erika,

One possible reason why your laptop couldn't connect to your TV after an update may be due to an incompatible driver. For us to better assist you and provide you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps, kindly answer the questions below:

• What is the current version/build of your Windows 10 laptop? To check, type
  winver on Cortana's search field and press Enter.
• What is the make and model of your laptop and your laptop's video card?

We also suggest that you download and install the latest driver for your video card from your computer manufacturer's site which is compatible with your current Windows 10 version.

We're looking forward for your response.

 

What is the model of the graphics card?

 

its an MSI GeForce GTX 970 4G

 

Is it connected via an DVI to VGA adapter?

 

I think you're on the right track.

I looked at the specs for an MSI GTX 970. It has no VGA connector. It has two DVI ports. One is DVI-I, the other is DVI-D.

If a DVI to VGA adapter is used, it must be plugged into the DVI-I port. (The DVI-D one does not give an analog signal.)

 

Exactly, why I asked that question. *Wink

 

Does the Dell not have modern connectors? I am confused why you'd want to use VGA these days.

What is the make and model of the monitor?
