Projector | Projector Not Showing in Device Manager

  • Updated

If you cannot locate the projector in Device Manager or Display Settings, please follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue.

Locate Projector in Device Manager

  1. Check Device Manager
    • Open Device Manager.
    • Expand the Monitors section.
    • See if the projector is listed there.
  2. Check NVIDIA Control Panel
    • Open the NVIDIA Control Panel.
    • Go to "Set Up Multiple Displays"
    • Make sure the checkbox for the projector is selected.
    • If it's not checked, check the box.
  3. If the projector isn't shown:
    • Reseat (unplug and plug back in) the HDMI/DisplayPort cables at both the projector and the PC ends.
  4. Check for Directional HDMI Cable
    • Some HDMI cables are directional (they only work one way).
    • Look for labels like “Input” and “Output” on each end of the cable.
    • Ensure the Input end is connected to the PC and the Output end to the projector.
  5. Still Not Working?
    • Try a different HDMI cable. The current one may be faulty.
