    So, this is the setup:
    Laptop - HP ProBook 465 G11 Notebook PC
    OS - Windows 11 Pro (up-to-date)
    Hub - HP USB-C Dock G5
    Monitors - (2) 27in Asus
    Monitors, Audio, Network all run through the Hub. Laptop connects to the Hub.

    Up until a month or so ago, this setup was working as it should... sit down, connect laptop to the Hub and all (3) monitors worked and flowed well. Then something happened... the second external monitor stopped working. Tried various things, different cords, different Hub - nothing is working.
    I thought maybe a power setting needs to be changed but now I am wondering if there was a Windows update that is causing a problem.

    Here is the added bonus, have a another laptop with dual monitors same setup - it, too, has run into similar issue with external monitors not firing up properly like they did initially.

    Anyone else run into this sort of problem? Anyone have a thought?
    Thanks in advance....
