ASUS Zenbook UX330UAK will not detect *most* external displays

[JWilt1]

Hello,

I did post this in response to another user's query, so my apologies if I am not following protocol by posting it separately.

Notebook Model: ASUS UX330UAK - Windows 10 64bit

Graphics Driver: Intel(R) HD Graphics 620

Driver version: 24.20.100.6286

Driver Date: 2018-08-15

My laptop is not able to detect *most* external displays. I have updated all my drivers from both the ASUS website and then tried the more recent ones directly from the Intel site. I've also tried doing this after a clean install of Windows 10.

I want the notebook to detect most or all external displays easily detected by other notebooks, but I am particularly interested in having it detect and extend the display to an HP Pavilion 27xw monitor. I have tested other laptops on this monitor using the same micro HDMI to VGA adapter and VGA cable, and they extend the display properly. Strangely, I used this same cable setup in my micro HDMI port and managed to extend the display to a Dell monitor (which is not mine), so I know that the micro HDMI port on my notebook is not the issue.

I have spent hours on this, and have read many suggested courses of action online for generic 'cannot detect external display' problems. One course of action which seems to be available to some people but not others is to 'Detect' another display in the Display Settings utility, have Windows not find it but nonetheless bring up a picture of a second display that it hasn't detected, and then manually force through a signal. When I hit 'Detect', my notebook simply says another display was not detected and does not generate a picture of a second undetected display that I can work with.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello biltman,

Thank you for joining this Intel Community.Because you are using an HDMI* to VGA adapter, this issue must be a computer limitation. However, please follow these steps to continue troubleshooting it.1.

Hello Warren,

I just received a new adapter. Strangely, though the other one worked for another computer always and with one monitor on this computer, this adapter seems to have fixed the issues I was having.

Thanks so much for your help,

Justin
