HP Pavilion Laptop Model 15-cs0025cl
Microsoft Windows 11

I have 2018 HP Pavilion Laptop Model 15-cs0025cl with one HDMI port and one USB-C port that I'm using to connect to two external monitors. The HDMI port works great and I can connect to one of my external monitors. However, when I use USB-C port to connect HP USB-C to HDMI HDMI Adapter for second monitor, it is not working properly. I appreciate any input you might have. Thanks.

Thanks! I did some further research on this and it looks like USB to HDMI adapter w/ external video & graphics card might be the solution. I ordered one and will test it and post an update.

You can use normal USB-A to HDMI Adapter with DisplayLink certified to connect to a second external monitor.

I got StartTech.com USB 3.0 to HDMI Adapter model 'USB32HDES' and it works great with a second external monitor. Thanks again for your response. I appreciate it.
