So my work laptop is on a HP docking station. (It's a HP!  ) It's running Windows 10 Pro.When the laptop reboots. It displays the Windows Logo / x4 blue boxes split between both my dual screens. Then when it finishes booting it displays nothing on either. To get anything to come on my monitors I have to do a specific order of operations: 1) Unplug both Display Port cables from the docking station & fully reboot. 2) Once at desktop - Plug in Monitor #1 3) Plug in Monitor #2 Then it sees both and my extended desktop works fine across both just as I have it set up. Anyone run into this before? The biggest hint something is going weird here is that the Windows logo / boot logo gets split in half between both monitors if they are both plugged in.

Can you access your laptop screen easy when it's docked? I had a Dell that did something similar, where the dual displays were messed up after a reboot. But if I opened the laptop and logged in, the screens would come back and I could close the laptop again. It was either that or disconnect from the dock. Never could get assistance or actually diagnose the issue. I shall respect you until you open your mouth, from that point on, you must earn it yourself. | |||

HP has dozens of docking stations. What model docking station and what model laptop? What brand and model monitor? There is software and setting in all of them. Have you loaded the most recent version of the docking station software if it has any? | |||

No clue, honestly. But i would start by looking into the BIOS first. See if there’s a hint there. The issue seems to be ext. display detection. Not familiar with Display Port features and configuration. Would check both W10 Display configuration and most likely the Video driver/software program by the video card manufacturer. Easy does it. Looks more like a configuration issue than a real hardware problem. 0-0 "OP is a troll" - Flashlightboy, 12/18/20 | |||

See if there is a firmware update for your model of dock. I have one that had issues with the ethernet port and the display output. A couple of firmware revisions fixed most of the issues. The "Boz" | |||

I have three separate monitors in addition to my laptop screen. Here’s what I had to do and suspect it’s the same for you. I think your video card is underpowered to run all your monitors and your docking station is simply a pass through for the video. I had to buy a powered multi-display hub. It fixed my problem. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."
