Windows 10: Why isn’t my laptop projecting to external monitor after factory reset?

I have just factory reset my laptop which has a broken screen so I use an external monitor for it. However after resetting the screen is not being shown on the monitor and still isn’t after pressing f4 for that function. I can’t see anything on the laptop screen as it is broken so not quite sure how to fix this

how do i reset a asus laptop to factory settings?

The process of resetting an Asus laptop to factory settings can vary depending on the model and operating system. However, here are the general steps you can follow:

1. Back up your important files and data to an external hard drive or cloud storage as resetting your laptop to factory settings will erase all data.
   
2. Press the "F9" key repeatedly while the Asus laptop is booting up. This will take you to the recovery menu.
   
3. Select "Restore factory settings" from the menu.
   
4. Follow the prompts to confirm the reset process.
   
5. Wait for the reset process to complete, which may take several minutes.
   
6. Once the reset is complete, your Asus laptop will be restored to its original factory settings.

Surface Laptop 3 with external monitor

Hi All,

Has anyone come across an issue with an external monitor blacking out while connected to a Surface Laptop 3? I have the laptop connected to a widescreen laptop with the Surface Dock. Both work fine however, once every hour or so the external monitor blacks out and comes back.

I've completed the following:

• Updated laptop drivers and firmware
  • Updated monitor drivers
  • Swapped out monitor
