@xMamaKat13, Welcome to HP Support Community,

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

Check HDMI Cable and Port:

• Ensure the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the laptop and the monitor.
• Inspect the HDMI port on the laptop and monitor for any visible damage or debris.

Select Correct Input Source on Monitor:

• Confirm that the monitor is set to the correct HDMI input source.

Adjust Display Settings on the Laptop:

• Right-click on the desktop and select Display settings.
• Scroll down to Multiple displays and select Detect to see if your monitor is identified.

Use Windows + P Shortcut:

• Press Windows + P to open the Project menu and select appropriate settings such as Extend or Duplicate.

Graphics Driver Rollback:

• Open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start button.
• Expand Display adapters, right-click your graphics driver, and select Properties.
• Go to the Driver tab and choose Roll Back Driver if available.

Try Another HDMI Cable or Monitor:

• Test with a different HDMI cable or use another monitor to rule out hardware issues.

BIOS Update:

• Check HP Support website for any BIOS updates specific to your model that may address HDMI issues.
