I have the same problem; however, your argument is incorrect. My laptop had an external monitor connected via USB-C without any issues. It wasn't until today that it stopped working.

Hi @edhi87 

 

You must indicate the model of your laptop, they are all different in the USB-C port.

I have already installed driver updates, but I still don't get video through the USB-C port, even though it was working fine before.

Of course this is a business model, it has DisplayPort on the USB.C port, if it does not work you must update the BIOS and graphics drivers.
