Question No picture on second monitor (only on one computer)

[nikogen06]

I've had an Acer AL1916 monitor for a while but never used it, so I decided to use it as a second monitor. Bought an HDMI-to-VGA adapter, connected it, and no picture (monitor is detected, shows up correctly in screenshots but on the actual monitor - black screen). I can confirm the adapter works, as I tried on 2 other laptops (one on Win7 and one on Win10 1803) and it works perfectly there, therefore I think the problem is either my GPU or something else in my computer. I already clean-reinstalled GPU driver, no difference. Now, I'm going to try reinstalling windows and see if that makes a difference.

If you've got any ideas for a solution, please share.

GPU: Geforce GTX 1660 Super (Gigabyte Gaming OC 3-fan version)

Hi, I'm experiencing a similar issue: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/my-external-monitor-is-stuck-30hz.3707980/#post-22351206
I did several reinstallations, it seemed to work fine at the start but then the issue represented itself.
I do believe it's a driver issue but can't back my claim nor unfotunately have a solution for it.
