Windows 11 update: Failure to detect USB-C monitors

Anonymous

On April 14th, I updated my Windows 11 PCs (Surface Pro 7 and Surface Book 3) to build KB5012592. Since that time, I have tried two different Surface Dock 2s and neither, with either PC, recognizes my monitors via the USB-C ports. Finally, I switched back to the Surface Dock and both PCs recognize my dual monitor setup using HDMI. I am running two Asus 32" ProArt (model: PA329CV) monitors.

This problem materialized on both PCs, for both monitors, immediately upon the Windows 11 update.

I was on the phone with Microsoft, which offered no advice, instead it immediately sent me to Asus. Working with Asus, I upgraded my firmware (I had already done this a couple of months ago, but went along...), Still no dice. I am waiting on Asus Level 2 support to get back to me.

I am not very keen on performing a complete wipe of my machines to reinstall an earlier version of Windows as I tried this on the Surface Pro. I wasn't vigilant and it automatically updated to the W11 build referenced above during the installation process. As such, the reinstallation process didn't solve the problem - the monitors are still not recognized via USB-C.

Has anyone else experienced something similar? Is this a known problem?

    I heard back from Asus, it is doing "extensive diagnostic testing" on the monitor and expects to finish by May 31st, 2022 (next Tuesday). I will keep you posted.

    Hello Marrion,

    I heard back from Asus who said it has found no problems with the monitor. I am waiting to have a phone conversation with them to discuss further.

    I will let you know next steps as soon as I know.

    John
