Missing Displays

Written by

One of the main area for issues with Windows 10 is the way it handles displays/monitors.

Setup

  • Dell E6540 Laptop
  • 2 x Dell U2414H connected by HDMI

My monitors were shown in device manager on my Dell e6540. For my dell U2414H I also updated the drivers instead of using the generic Microsoft ones (not sure htis would of made a difference though)

  • Goto the intel HD Graphics Control Panel
  • Multiple Displays Tab
  • Goto the "Select One or More Active Displays" section
  • You will find your missing monitor listed and set to none and save
  • Set to match the name of your monitor andsave
  • Done

Other fixes that you should try first

  • Update drivers
  • Update monitor drivers
  • Reboot your PC with all the monitors turned on
  • If using a laptop on a docking station, undock and then re-dock
  • Try a different monitor
  • Make sure windows 10 is all upto date
  • Run intel driver update utility
  • Make sure all drivers are present (ie SM Bus / Chipset drivers)
