Sometimes the TV I'm connected to (using an HDMI lead) doesn't show my laptop desktop when I power

[JHUD]

I am using an HDMI lead to a TV from my laptop. In recent times. The TV seems not to recognize the laptop when I turn it on. Almost always when this happens. I unplug the HDMI lead and plug it in again, and the laptop desktop appears. Is there any particular reason this might be happening? I would appreciate any advice/help in this regard.

@JHUD,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I recommend you update the BIOS and the graphics driver from the below link and check if it helps.

Hello, and thanks for the info/suggestions. I updated the bios. I think there might've bee two links. I clicked on the most recent one. I also did the same re the graphics driver. I used the most recent 'Intel' one. I won't really know if either one does the trick yet. But thanks again.
