5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Flower Screen or Black Screen Issues

• Check Power and Connection: If the screen is black, first verify if the indicator light is on. If not, try replacing the Type-C data cable or switching to a different USB port on your computer.
• Display Detection: Right-click on your desktop and check if the display is detected in the display settings. If not, try replacing the Type-C data cable or switching the USB port again.
• Display Mode: Confirm that the display is not in duplicate mode if you intend to use it as an extended display. Change it to extended mode in your display settings.
• Restart MS USB Display Process: Open Task Manager, locate and close the 'MS USB Display' process, then restart the program.
• Config.ini File: Ensure the 'config.ini' file has been correctly replaced if instructed during driver installation.

5.2 Incorrect Resolution (800x600 instead of 1024x600)

• Verify 'config.ini': Check if the 'config.ini' file is installed in the 'C:\Program Files\Win USB Display' directory.
• System Restart: After installation, restart your system to enable the 1024x600 resolution.

5.3 Screen Remains Black After Driver Installation

• Sufficient Power Supply: Ensure the USB 2.0 interface has sufficient power. It is recommended to connect the monitor to a USB port directly on the PC or use a USB 3.0 interface.
• Detect Display: Open 'Display' settings, click 'Detect'. If the secondary screen is recognized, set it to 'Extend these displays'.
• Driver Load: If the secondary screen is not recognized, check if the 'MS USB Display' driver is loaded correctly in the 'Device Manager'.
