Second monitor (extended from main monitor) was working fine on my old Dell Windows 10 and on this new HP Pavilion it shuts off after working fine for a while and Windows Display says "not detected." It is an old second monitor connected to the HDMI port with a VGA to HDMI connector. I powered it down, I checked the cables -- all fine. I ran the HP Assist "Video Extended Memory Check" for the Intel(R) UHD Graphics 770 and it said that it is up to date. When I unplugged and replugged the HDMI connector this morning, the second monitor was on fine for hours. Yesterday, when I put the computer on sleep, the second monitor wouldn't come back on. So today, I didn't put it on sleep, I just walked away to do other things. After 30 minutes, when my main HP Pavilion monitor shut off as I've set in the power functions, when I shook the mouse to wake it up the main monitor came back on but the second monitor has not and Windows 11 Display is again saying "not detected." I don't know what else to do. I should not have to disconnect and reconnect the HDMI connector to get a second monitor on all the time.
