Wake Up Windows 10 Secondary Monitor
I have a laptop connected to an external monitor as an extension to my laptop display.
Sometimes when I put the system to sleep the secondary will not wake up. I would have to physically pull out the HDMI cable and reinsert it to wake up the external monitor. Obviously this is not a favorable solution since it starts to wear out my laptop’s HDMI port.
A better alternative — which saves wear and tear on the HDMI port — is to restart the graphics driver by pressing CTRL-SHIFT-WIN-B. This wakes up the external monitor without having to physically remove the HDMI cable.
