Recently purchased a Lenovo Ideapad 730S and am continually having problems getting it to recognize an external monitor. It's worked...sporadically. And I can't pinpoint why or how to get it resolved permanently. The laptop has only USB-C ports. I have an HDMI-to-USB-C adapter. I've made sure there were no lingering Windows 10 updates, updated drivers (straight from Intel's website), pretty much everything. The last time this happened, maybe 2-3 weeks ago I was on with Lenovo's tech support and they ultimately remoted in and got it working, but I do not remember what they did. The main thing is that until just yesterday, there were no substantive changes to anything on the laptop, and I only started with uninstalling and reinstalling the graphics driver, Windows updates, etc.
Anyone have any idea how to correct this? I'm considering buying an HDMI-to USB-C cable to see if that does anything differently. I'm able to connect the monitor to another laptop via the HDMI connection, so I guess it's possible the adapter is faulty, but again, I've had it working on occasion.
