Product: HP ENVY - 17-u163cl
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an HP Envy 17 (HP ENVY - 17-u163cl) with an external monitor connected via HDMI to HDMI already. I'd like to connect a 3rd monitor using the USB-C port, but the spec in the user manual does not indicate that it supports alt-mode display. Is there any way I can get an HDMI cable or adapter that will work with either USB 3.0 or USB-C even though alt-mode display is not supported? (i.e. are there adapters with external video cards that can compensate for it?)

The best way ahead would be to use a USB DisplayLink device - click here for a list of products. This provides an additional display that is not connected to the system GPU - but this type of device is the only option you have for a second external monitor on a notebook that has a HDMI port, no DisplayPort alternate mode support on USB-C, no Thunderbolt 3 and no other monitor ports.
