Windows 10 Technical Preview Won't detect 2nd Monitor

Hello,

I have a Asus G750 laptop running a nVidia 860M and Intel 4600 graphics. My machine is setup to dual boot either Win 8.1 or Win 10 Technical preview. I mostly use the laptop at home with a Samsung LED external monitor plugged into the HDMI port.

This setup works fine for Win 8.1 but Win 10 does not detect or recognize this monitor. I've tried removing and re-installing device drivers for both the nVidia and Intel graphics but no luck. Win 10 performs ok using my built in laptop display.

Any thoughts on getting this to work would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

Yes, I always run Win update after Win 10 loads just to make sure I haven't missed anything. I haven't tried a different monitor though - good idea, I'll give it a try.

Thanks

Maybe try the monitor you currently but through VGA if its available?

Thats good to hear! We have a couple of clients running win10 and things seem to be quite buggy but afterall it is the tech preview.

One common thread that I see over and over again; uninstall existing device driver and re-start Win 10 to force a re-install. This and/or a Windows update is what fixed my monitor issue.

Even though the solution was arrived outside of Expert Exchange, I appreciate Roshan Ejaz help in leading me to the correct answer.
