hdmi to vga adapter not detected.

I bought a Ddmi to Vga adapter from Hp and used it on my Envy notebook to connect to an  external projector.  It worked for a few weeks and suddenly stopped working.  The laptop cannot detect the adapter again. What do I do? what did I do wrong?

Hi,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community Forums. You have reached the right place. Let us work together to find the root cause of this issue and try resolving it.

This issue might occur if hardware is not getting detected or drivers corrupted.

Method 1: I would suggest you to run Hardware and devices troubleshooter and see if that helps.

Method 2: I would suggest you to try the following steps.
a. Connect the laptop to the projector.
b. Right click on Start button and select Run prompt.
c. Type Desk.cpl and press enter.
d. Select the Second monitor and then change the Resolution to a High Value and press apply.
e. Now press the function keys Fn and F7 to enable the HDMI port.
