I have connected 2 monitors to my microsoft surface dock and my 3rd monitor using usb-c to hdmi, but i cant run 3 at the same time. why is this so? How to fix this? 

As soon as I unplug one of the monitors the other 2 work, in any combination.

    If I used an additional USB to external video card adapter, would it be possible to add the fourth monitor?

    It supports 3 monitors only including Surface's monitor.

    If you want to use the fourth monitor, you can buy windows wireless wifi adapter:

    Connect the fourth monitor through wifi.

    Which USB Video Cards did you use? Looking to just ensure compatibility.
