Hi @hayzel2024,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 Thanks for reaching out!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

I Understand that your concern, Please note, 

• VGA is Analog, USB-C is Digital: VGA uses an analog signal, while USB-C (via DisplayPort Alt Mode) sends a digital signal. you need an active adapter with built-in electronics to convert the digital signal to analog. Ensure you are using a quality, active adapter.

I hope this helps.
