Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A support technician plugged a monitor with a USB C cable connector into a USB C port on the computer, but the monitor would not function. Why would the monitor not work? It was not an HDMI cable.

Detailed explanation-2: -Make sure your PC, the external display, and the cable all support DisplayPort or MHL alternate modes. Make sure the device or dongle is connected directly to your PC. Make sure the device or dongle is connected to the USB-C port on your PC that supports the correct Alternate Mode.

Detailed explanation-3: -As well as carrying power and connecting accessories, the USB-C standards include both DisplayPort and HDMI, so you’ll want either a USB-C to HDMI/DisplayPort or, if you have a very new monitor (opens in new tab), USB-C to USB-C.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plug the USB-C end of the adapter into the USB-C port on your Surface. Take the video cable that’s connected to your external display or TV, and then plug the other end of it into the adapter. The cable to use depends on your display and the type of video connection it uses-DisplayPort, HDMI, or VGA.

Detailed explanation-5: -Simply use a USB-C cable to connect your laptop to one of the monitors, and then connect the first monitor’s DisplayPort output to a second monitor’s DisplayPort input-following the same process for a third and even fourth monitor.
