This morning I went to work on my computer (which was working fine yesterday) and I found some things were different.
I am running the latest windows on an intel i5 core hp Pavilion from 2018. I also have an external monitor (Gateway LE1936 from 2007). I have a HDMI->VGA adapter to accomplish this.
So far, I have noticed 3 things:
My monitor switches on and off at equal intervals of about 3 seconds so: on (3 seconds) -> off (3 seconds) -> on (3 seconds) -> etc. When I say off, I mean it says "no signal" and displays an RGB calibration.
My start menu is always up and I can't see my desktop when all other windows are closed.
My settings window lacks the min/max/quit buttons at the top right
The important thing is that I fix my monitor issue asap because I need it for work. I tried these things so far:
I looked to install Gateway's drivers for the monitor but it seems like they no longer support it I guess because it's old.
I uninstalled the PNP drivers it was running on and unplugged, then plugged it back in so that they reinstalled.
I checked to see if Windows updated last night, but it didn't.
I assumed it was a software issue since it is occurring at exactly the same intervals, but I nonetheless disconnected and reconnected the connections, getting the vga connections tighter than before.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
