How to fix hdmi output problems in windows 10

HDMI is a very popular connection method when it comes to displays, as it provides the highest image quality, so it's no wonder that so many people are using it. Speaking of HDMI, some Windows 10 users have reported some problems with this type of connection.

Four Tips for Troubleshooting HDMI

We will try to solve the problems with this type of connection with three different methods, namely:

Solution 1 - Rollback the controller

A possible problem with the HDMI video output is that the drivers can cause problems. The most recommended option in this case is to uninstall the driver and restart the computer, Windows 10 will take care of reinstalling the driver, sometimes earlier or the default driver that was installed.

• Open Device Manager within System in Control Panel Right-click on the video driver and select Uninstall. It is also important to uninstall the driver software, which may be Crimson from AMD or Nvidia GeForce. Then restart your computer.

Solution 2 - Update the driver

Sometimes the problem can be solved by updating the graphics card driver to the latest version, instead of reinstalling the driver or reverting to an older driver.

In this case we will have to go to the corresponding pages of AMD or Nvidia (depending on the model of your graphics card) and check which are the latest stable drivers that are available.

Solution 3 - Install the drivers in compatibility mode

If we continue without solving the problem, we can use the 'compatibility' function that is present in Windows 10 to install the driver.

• We are going to right click on the installer executable file and enter Properties. We are going to the Compatibility tab. Activate the box Run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows 7 in the list. We accept the changes and execute the driver installation.

Solution 4 - Set the secondary screen

If you are using HDMI to connect a second screen, try adjusting it on the NVIDIA control panel, or if you use AMD graphics you can use its control panel instead. The process is the same.

• Open the Nvidia (or AMD) Control Panel. Go to Configure multiple displays. If your display connected by HDMI is not showing the check and deactivating the others that are in the list.

This sounds like a bit of a 'seedy' solution, but some users have reported that it has helped them visualize their HDMI display.

I hope these tips have been useful to you and see you next time.
