My Windows 10 HP Pavilion laptop (link to specs) won't recognize my 2nd monitor (link to specs) when I plug it in. I have tried multiple displays but the laptop always says "Display 2 isn't active" in the advanced display options. The monitors say "no video input", and in Device Manager, the 2nd monitor shows up as a "Generic PNP Monitor".
Things I've tried:
Any ideas?
Things I've tried:
- Pressing the Windows key + P shortcut to use the Project menu - No change.
- Restarting and unplugging the monitor and laptop from the wall - No change.
- Unplugging everything from my laptop except the monitor and then rebooting - No change.
- Uninstalling the monitor's driver in Device Manager and then restarting (to auto-reinstall the driver) - No change.
- Going to Windows update, opening "optional updates", and installing all the display and monitor-related driver updates - No change.
Any ideas?
