My model # is hp-14dq0032dx. I have 2 monitors both with HDMI cords. I plugged one directly into the laptop and the other I bought a docking station with multiple type ports that connects with a USB-C plug. The monitor connected directly to the laptop works but the other one connected to the adapter does not. I'm not a computer guru but I can usually connects things and they will work...LOL. Not sure what the problem is here. I've been doing a lot of digging but can't find the answer. I would appreciate any help you can provide. It's not my drivers, I updated them or it isn't my settings on my laptop, they are set to multiple devices and extend displays.
