This problem just changes randomly.. every time I turn on my PC… sometimes it connects,, sometimes it doesnt… no change in cables, connections, software or updates… I can only put it down to crappy W10,, cant even do basics right!

I purchased dell latitude 3410 and accidentally the very day it arrived it crashed after automatic windows updates. It had to be install afresh. Now the monitor is shown as Generic PnP, no display driver, no dell drivers, nothing is able to fix. Any help is appreciated. I bought pro support with the laptop the support staff is not able to help either made 4 1 hour calls to them.

Hi,
None of the solutions worked for me. I noticed that the message displayed on my external monitor changed when I connected it to my new 2020 laptop (my external monitor is from 2009..). I googled the message and found that by creating a “customized screen resolution” on my video card solved the issue. (the terms I use might not be right, my laptop is in French so I am doing adlib translation). To do this, right click on your laptop screen to get to “display properties”. Acroll down until you get to “Advanced display properties”. At the top of the screen there will be a drop down box, click and select your external monitor. Then click on Video Card Properties. A new box will open, click on “list all modes” and select the one that is compatible with your monitor. For me it was 1600X900 true colorts 32 bits 60hz. This has allowed me to duplicate my screen only and not extend but at least I can use the bigger screen.

Excellent!! This worked ( the ONLY advice anywhere I could find that DOES ) and I’m now able to use my laptop and view it on my 50″ ROKU T.V… Plus you give several things to do ( it was the 3rd that worked for me ) and I want to say THANK YOU!! Many people aren’t as ‘computer literate as they think they are and I believe the reason these different methods might not work for them is they are not following the directions you give- precisely!

Quick fix – disable PnP monitor in Device Manager 🙂

I have an HP Pavilion All-in-One PC and my screen started to display color improperly today – gray becomes yellow. Going into color management settings and reapplying sRGB color profiles helped only until the next login or restart. As I have a Radeon GPU built in my PC, I can safely disable PnP monitor – problem gone 🙂
