Hi there!I am currently experiencing some issues with my monitor as it goes black and shows 'No Signal' when I switch the project mode Win + P to 'Second Screen only'. I am quite unsure what happened and why this happened, but I guess it might be a glitch after a Windows update, or my laptop's/ monitor's issue.Some details that might be useful:Laptop Model: HP Spectre x360 Convertible 2018 verPC is always up to date, with latest windows updates installed.If you would need further details, I will be glad to provide them if I canWould really appreciate your response, thank you so much!

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.

Screen goes black

Hi Kris,

It is possible that your screen goes black may be due to a critical system error which can cause the system to shut down. To isolate your issue, we'd like to gather more information:

• Have you made any recent changes prior to this issue?
• Did you get any error messages when it turns black?
• Have you tried checking if the sleep mode is turned on/off?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

Meanwhile, we recommend that you perform the steps in this
article to troubleshoot blank/black screen errors. This will provide you instruction when you see a black screen before signing in to Windows 10 and when you see a black or blank screen after signing in to Windows 10.
