Device Mangler Win 10

[Jeff Gaines]

I am having a problem with a new (purchased 16 Feb 2024) Dell Monitor. It
won't recognise the input from my Z170K. I do still have to play cables
but I am having a rest from hanging upside down in a computer ATM!

What is interesting is that Device Manager has a very small yellow mark at
the bottom right of the Display Adaptor icon, it's not the big yellow
exclamation mark, much more discrete:

Any thoughts while I give my neck a rest?

I see no yellow exclamation mark there ...

No, it's smaller blob under the right of the icon, almost too small to see.

OK, PEBCAK!

One HDMI cable going from a computer on the right of he desk and hanging
in space at the left and another /connected to the monitor on the left and
hanging in space on the right!

Pleased you sorted it now.

In my eyes the yellow thing is a symbol for an expansion card.
I don't see an exaclamation mark.
On my computer the icon in device-manager looks exactly the same.

It's a shame that Device Manager hasn't gained high-dpi icons ... maybe
one day it'll re-implemented within Win11's Settings?

That's a depiction of a PCI card, i.e.the Display adapter itself,
sitting in front of the monitor.

Have you thought on trying a different cable?

It was my fault in the end, however, your point about cables is good.
Anybody come across a cable management system for home use that's not too
intrusive? I have a wooden shelf that goes from one side of the computer
table to the other that it could hang off.

I have this ikea one, screws under the desk up against the wall ...
actually I have two as it's an 'L' shaped desk, it's ok, but easily gets
tangled if you make too many changes.

Thanks Andy, that's very neat :-)

I managed to find something like it on Amazon that clamps on so I don't
have to lay on my back screwing it up, which is getting increasingly
difficult :-(

Some of us dream of screwing things up while laying on their back :-\

Now awaiting collection as a bracket fell off, metal but apparently glued
(or not) rather than welded.

It's my third return recently, what has happened to quality control?
