How do you setup a 2nd monitor on a computer with HDMI ports

I have a new HP Envy computer with two HDMI ports.  I have two monitors, one plugged into each port.  When I go into the display settings and detect the monitors it is only finding one.

How do I setup the 2nd.


It is Win 10 pro

have you installed the required HP drivers and tried enabling the dual monitors using the HP utilities came with the drivers?

which display adapter are you using? You are probably connecting to two different display adapters and if you enable one i.e. nvidia it will disable the intel on cpu graphics adapter. are both hdmi adapters located in the same area? or is on on the backplane and one on an adapter card?
Installing the Intel driver fixed the problem.

Thanks
