fiza Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 All other Win logo Key combinations work ie Win+L locks the screen and Win+E opens File Explorer. I have not blocked Hot Keys in Group Policy. Any ideas why it would not work please?

Whatever idiot wrote it actually hard-coded the Windows Key + P combo into a shortcut that works when the app is open and it actually overrides those Windows key functions. I'll be honest - I didn't think crappy software could do that, but I was wrong. Exit that app and Windows key + P works as normal.

fiza Posted September 5, 2019 Author Posted September 5, 2019 Are your graphics drivers installed correctly? Updated the drivers to latest on Intel site. Still no joy. Strangely it works when the PC is locked by the user but not when logged in.
mikeprice Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 I know this is obvious - but win+P doesn't do anything when there is no second monitor hence is doesn't seem to have identified the monitor not sure how this helps but it does point to either a faulty device/cable - or driver - or socket I did say it was obvious 1

Ok - so not cable or projector or socket then Does the lock screen use different drivers or driver modes than normal mode?? Have you tried the projector screen in different resolutions??
