hi,
i have a HP Zbook G9 laptop, connected to a HP Thunderbolt dock G2 along with a HP P24hc G4 monitor.
in order to get my screen displayed on my monitor, i have to open my laptop screen, log in, then close my laptop screen, wait a few seconds and then the unlock screen shows on my monitor.
how can i get it where my laptop can remain closed and connected to the docking station and it can power up and start using the monitor and not with me having to open and close the laptop?
thank you
