I am trying to set up two monitors with my HP notebook and it will only detect one of the two monitors. The docking station is a USB-C Gen 1 docking station from Lenovo MFR# 40A90090US which supports up to two monitors through and has two DP and one VGA. Where i am using a VGA to USB adapter for one monitor it will not recognize the display connected with the VGA to VGA. This works fine with my T470 but will not on this HP. When I was initially setting this up on the T470 i was able to utilize the Intel Graphics setting to enable the 2nd monitor but this HP system is not giving me any option outside of single display.
Any one have a good fix for the PC to recognize the additional display or a work around?
