HDMI probs

[corrinevn]

Since a windows update the HDMI port doesn't work (There is always something that stops bloody working every time!). I have tried a different HDMI, turning it off and on again, resetting the BIOS, it says it is up to date for windows, I have disabled the HD graphics to be able to use the NVIDIA this just made my display look very odd! I have updated the drivers to both graphics. I have checked the display settings and tried the extended projection. I have also tried running scans in command and then restarting. Never had a problem before now with the laptop projecting, the HDMI lead or the television. I can connect my Pavillion to the television using the same cable but I need to display an app that this laptop isn't updated to do.

Please help, I have spent 6 hours in total trying to find a solution to this problem and none seem to work. More than a little bit sick of this happening every update. So far owning this computer I have noticed I lost my microphone (very handy during covid), thumbprint recognition, wireless and now this! God knows what else I have lost/doesn't now work that I don't know about (sigh)
