Hello,

 

Thank you to whomever reads this. I appreciate the help. I just purchased 2 external monitors that I wish to connect to my HP laptop. I use the editing program, AVID, and my hope was to use dual monitors to edit. I have 2 USB ports, 1 USB-C, 1 HDMI port on my laptop. My problem is, I can't get the 2nd monitor to work. The 1 monitor works which is connected via the single HDMI port on my laptop. Everything I try doesn't work. I purchased a dual hdmi adapter that plugs into my USB-C port. That didn't work. I even just purchased an USB-VGA adapter and THAT isn't even working. My monitors support HDMI and VGA connection only.

 

I've tried everything my mind could think of. I've installed drivers and everything. I don't know if my antivirus is blocking the adapters? I'm trying everything and nothing is working.

 

Thank you again.
