    Laptop when connecting USB device it disconnects the screens laptop and monitor


    Hi everyone,I am facing a really annoying issue here. Recently, with one of the updates, I believe, my laptop went crazy.Whenever I plug in a USB device; printer, mouse, keyboard, hub, phone - it makes my both screens go off and on again after a few seconds.Let me describe it better: USB plugged > laptop screen and monitor connected through USB hub into USB C thunderbolt go off for like 2 seconds - HDMI goes "no singal" > both screens are back > device is working.I tried uninstalling the recent updates, but Windows won't let me, of course! I reinstalled the graphics driver and USB d

    How to disable a laptop screen?

    Windows 7, right clicking the desktop and selecting screen resolution. I selected the laptop screen and under "Multiple Displays" selected "Disconnect this display", so now I have it showing on only 1 external monitor, nothing else. At this point I thought I should be able to extend to the other monitor, but when I do it gives me unable to save display settings.

    When I try and do it from nVidia control panel, there are five options...Laptop Display + Monitor 1, Monitor 1 + Laptop Display, Laptop Display + Monitor 2, Monitor 2 + Laptop Display, and "My display is not shown in the list"

  3. Laptop with broken screen How much?

    I would like suggestions and look in local stores. I dont wanna buy a laptop from someone online. Sorry. But could be a good idea if you asked him about the performance on older games. Gonna make a list ofall laptops people suggest me.

    Remove the screen for space purpose here its small desk and if the screen is opened it will hide my 22 inches lcd

    Laptop when connecting USB device it disconnects the screens laptop and monitor

    Laptop screen will only work once it has been connected to an external monitor, even if that monitor is switched off

    Having an issue whereby I cannot see or use the Laptop screen without first plugging it into an external monitor.


    • Upon Windows startup unconnected to any external monitor

      • DELL opening logo can be seen on Laptop screen

      • Screen goes black with backlight

      • Mouse pointer can be seen onscreen if moved to the right, as though a second monitor is connected on the left hand side.

      • Attempting to press enter and type in password in the correct order as though the screen was functional does not do anything

    • Upon connecting to an external monitor (even if switched off)

      • Laptop screen will suddenly appear, all functionality restored

    • Upon disconnecting again from external monitor

      • Laptop screen remains visible and functional

      • Lock screen /unlock screen no problem

    • Upon shutting and opening the laptop lid

      • Screen black with backlight, same results as windows startup, mouse pointer can be seen and moved as though a second screen is connected on the left

      • No functionality until reconnected, even for a second, with an external monitor.

    Troubleshooting:


    • Restarting multiple times, checking multiple display screen is not activated:
