Windows 10: Widescreen monitor not working

I have a HP Elitebook x360 which is work issued. I have been running a MSI 34” widescreen monitor via HDMI cable through a USB-C hub for months without issue. Suddenly the laptop won’t recognise that the monitor is plugged in and the monitor is getting no signal from the laptop. When I plug the monitor into the laptop’s HDMI port the laptop screen goes black and the external monitor still gets no signal. I know the monitor works because I plug it into my desktop PC, and I know the HDMI port on the laptop works because I can plug it into a different monitor and it works.Anyone have any sugg

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

As per the issue description your monitor is not being recognized as widescreen. The issue could be due to screen resolution or device drivers.

So, try to change the screen resolution first and see if it helps you to fi x the issue.

To change your screen resolution

• 
  Open Screen Resolution by right clicking the Start button
  
  , clicking
  Control Panel, and then, under Appearance and Personalization, clicking
  Adjust screen resolution.
  
• 
  Click the drop-down list next to Resolution, move the slider to the resolution you want, and then click
  Apply.
  
• 
  Click Keep to use the new resolution, or click Revert to go back to the previous resolution.
  

If issue persists try to install all of Windows updates device drivers. For updating drivers you may refer to the steps provided in the article mentioned below.

Display is skewed left on widescreen monitor

Hey there,

I have a Toshiba Satellite Radius laptop and was using a square monitor with it. Now I switched it out for a widescreen monitor but the display is skewed left - I do not see the control panel window on the monitor. I tried auto adjusting and moving it
100% left on the horizontal option, but it still won't fit. Help?

Thanks!
