    Why can't I project to another screen using HDMI?


    When I try to project to another screen using HDMI, a pop up window would say "Your PC cannot project to another screen. Try reinstalling the driver or using a different video card" This has not happened before. Any advise or directions?

    Project Second screen constantly appearing.

    Hi Norga,

    Thank you for using Windows 10.

    Let us know some more information so that we can diagnose and troubleshoot the issue in a better way:

    • what is the exact issue that you want us to help with? Do you want to get help in projecting a second screen or to remove the popup?
    • As you've said " I tried unsuccessfully to project a screen", do you wish to project a second screen currently?
    • What happened exactly when you tried to project a second screen? Did you receive any error message or any error code?
    The popup comes as the system might not be able to detect the monitors. I suggest you to update the Display drivers, it may force the system to detect the available monitors. Here is the steps:

    • Press “Windows + X” and select Device manger.
    • Locate the driver and expand the driver icon.
    • Right click on the driver icon and click on Update.

    Reply with the information and we'll be happy to assist you.

    Hi Pat,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Please reply to the following questions to help you further:

    • How are you trying to project the Laptop screen?
    • Are you receiving any error message?
    • Were you able to project the laptop screen to TV earlier?
    • What is the make and model of your laptop?

    In the meantime, I suggest you to refer the steps in the article
    Fix connections to wireless displays or docks     and check if that helps.

    Hope it helps.
