Hello...

I have had this setup for years and without issue. all of a sudden something changed and i cannot get it back to the way it was.

My setup is a laptop connected to 2 identical screens (HP 24f) via a dell docking station. The 2 screens are side by side and my laptop is configured as 3 extending screens (includes the laptop). As of yesterday one of the external screens is now identified as a "Generic PnP Monitor" rather than "HP 24f Display" this is in advanced display settings>display adapter properties> Monitor>Properties>Details

I've restarted, disconnected, changed ports, updated windows and tried to remove the device but with no success. The estranged monitor setup has created a difficult and somewhat useless setup of 640 X 480 rather than 1920 x 1080.

Suggestions or solutions would be appreciated.
