Short version - I am trying to connect a second monitor to an HP Envy 15-dr1000 series laptop. It has been unable to detect a second monitor for sometime after I updated to Windows 11. I've spent hours multiple times trying to troubleshoot and then give up. But then today I found a video that suggested another solution and it worked. I was able to finally extend the screen. However, in my troubleshooting, I was testing different HDMI cables in case that was the problem. The cable that was being used when it started working belongs somewhere else. Since I had determined it was a driver issue that was the cause, I disconnected the cable and replaced it with the original one. Then it would not detect the device. So I switched it back to the cable that was just working, and it still would not detect the device.
Here is what I have done so far including before it was working the first time:
-Checked drivers for updates - drivers were updated.
-Switched drivers that were installed on the laptop
-Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers from device manager
-Downloaded Intel Driver & Support Assistant and it recommended 3 different updates.
- Installed all updates (only one was for the driver) and rebooted the computer.
- 2ND MONITOR WAS DETECTED
-Disconnected HDMI cables and could not connect, even after replacing the cable that had just worked a few minutes earlier.
- Uninstalled driver and ran a clean installation from the Intel Driver & Support Assistance.
-Rebooted computer
-Still not connecting.
This is what was installed. Intel® Graphics Driver 31.0.101.2115 for 6th-10th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor
