USB-C not detecting displays on Windows 11

I cannot connect my HP Pavillion 15t-eg100 to two external monitors. I am using a lenovo docking station and two lenovo ThinkVision T24i-30 monitors.

I have two monitors, a keyboard, and a mouse plugged into a docking station. When I plug the docking station into my laptop via USB-C, the keyboard and mouse work just fine but the monitors do not. All accessories work when connected to another laptop (which is running Windows 10). I know this is not an issue related to cables because I can swap between laptops and the screens are instantly detected. It is worth noting that the USB docking station is also actively charging my computer, so it should be capable of sending video unless I misunderstand.

Here are the steps I have already taken:

  • Rescan to detect monitors several times
  • Check all cable connections/power
  • Update all my drivers
  • Check for software updates and restart my computer
  • Install Thunderbolt Control Center to attempt to detect displays
  • Install Lenovo Accessories and Display Manager to attempt to detect displays
Windows for home | Windows 11 | Display and graphics

    Hi All,

    I have been struggling to resolve this problem for long time as well!!

    But I am able to fix it by following a method that I saw online. I unplug everything from my laptop and leave it alone. Then long press the power button for 40 seconds, have to be exactly 40 seconds! Then turn on the laptop and connect all cable, HDMI/USBC wire.

    It works well now! I am about to connect two monitors at the same time !

    I can't thank you enough~!!

    I struggled for a couple of hours trying to get it to work after some updates and holding the power button like that and following this actually worked!!!!!!

    Thank you thank you thank you

    I am facing an issue where I cannot connect my monitor with my MacBook running Windows.

    I have a Mac, and the USB C is connected to my monitor without any problem and charges the device. However, when I install Windows on my MacBook Pro and try to connect it to the monitor through USB C, it does not work. it gives a notification saying "Make sure the DisplayPort your connection is supported by PC"

    I have not yet. I looked into trying to convert back to Windows 10, then trying some of the steps here, but I'm outside of the 'easily convert back from windows 11' period. Hope that maybe works for you? Let me know if you figure anything out
