I have 3 monitors> one is connected directly to my ntb through HDMI and other one(just now only one:D )is connected to HP dock and from dock to ntb through USB-C everything what goes from dock works perfectly(network, usb ports ans do on) but monitor won’t work… I’ve done reinstallin of evdi and displaylink and I’m able to see only BULIT IN display and only one of my external monitor(SAMSUNG connected directly to ntb). Do you uhave any sugesstions how to make that work??
Thank you
