in the device manager I went under display adapters and disabled the one that appeared which was my monitor, I tried with my brothers monitor still nothing, the monitor works for him but not for me, so I apparently disabled the HDMI drive thing. Please help it's getting lonely without computer friend TwT
Edit: I meant to mention that my computer screen is also broke, sry for not mentioning that before 😅
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hello
If I understand correctly you must be forgetting something here
How did you disable the hdmi, exactly?
If you have disabled it, then just re-enable it, if you can't then why?
You normally have a keyboard button as mentioned here to select the monitor, try .. is that what you may have disabled?

in this case apart from trying to reboot with a live disk , but I'm not sure that will work with the external screen..

Otherwise, remove the system disk, provided you have a similar computer, connect it to another computer, to boot on it, and reinstall the graphics driver .. and then replace it ..
One in two chance it works
As a last resort, find a professional, possibly replace the broken screen

hello sorry, can you specify what exactly you did..
I don't understand what it's about, if you no longer had any display!
but above all, you are talking about sharing what exactly with whom?
this can be useful, but you risk having a lot of information stolen like this

without a monitor or screen I did this all blind basically (used my main Facebook account on my computer and my Backup Facebook account which was on my phone)
How I did it was click the windows key (on keyboard) typed in Google chrome
Clicked tab 4 times to go to my second chrome profile which had my main Facebook profile on it (first profile hit tab 3 times, second profile hit tab 4 times, third profile hit tab 7 times, and just add 3 for every profile)
Next I hit alt+d (opens url bar) typed in facebook.com
I then called my main account from my backup account on my phone, hit tab 3 times to accept the call (on computer, lol)
Then I clicked tab I think 6 times to enter screen share, hit tab once then enter, then I think once more and enter again, in order to share my whole screen
Now I had my solution basically fixed because I could finally see the screen so I could fix what I broke
So I went into device manager, under Display Adapters, right clicked and renabled the HDMI adapter (which was the only thing under Display Adapters for me)
I will try this again in the morning so I can get the exact amount of times you need to hit tab so I will edit this in the morning
Hopefully this clarifys what you were asking

Ok, I'm not a facebook user so I don't understand everything...
And I suppose it takes a little bit of luck, if you have to do blind manipulations.
In any case, thank you, it's very interesting, bravo, well done!
I know that there are sharing software, remotely, but not offered, because without seeing anything, I think it must be difficult to meter in place..
Anyway thanks for answering , it might help other users in the same case
