I have a fairly new HP laptop purchased this year with Windows 11 installed. For video output there is just one HDMI port on the laptop. My goal is to be able to connect and use two separate monitors.
In order to extend and use more than one monitor, a USB hub or docking station i’d imagine should work. I have tried to connect two different hubs / docking stations with HDMI outputs to various USB ports on the laptop. The USB hub works for expanding USB ports just but not for video output no matter what.
The first error I receive when plugging in a hub is
Display connection might be limited
Make sure the DisplayPort device you're connecting to is supported by your PC
but i’m not using DisplayPort….
On device manager I see the warning on the USB device with
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
A USB port reset request failed.
I have tried everything from Windows updates, device driver uninstall / reinstall / update, add / remove device etc. It does not work.
What could be the problem here that I can’t get a video output to the HDMI monitor via USB through a dedicated hub from the laptop? I can’t imagine that my USB bus wouldn’t support this. Thanks in advance for any help.
