2. Check the monitor OSD to ensure DDC/CI is enabled.
3. Ensure that you have the correct and latest Graphics driver from the graphics vendor (Intel, AMD, NVidia, and so on). Graphics driver is often the cause of DDM failure.
4. Remove any docking stations, cable extenders, or converters between the monitor and the graphics port. Some low-cost extenders, hubs, or converters may not support DDC/CI properly and can fail DDM. Update the driver to the latest version available.
5. Restart your computer.

DDM might not work with the following monitors:

• Dell monitor models earlier than the year 2013 and D-series of Dell monitors. For more information, see https://www.dell.com/support/monitors.
• Gaming monitors using Nvidia-based G-sync technology.
• Virtual and wireless monitors do not support DDC/CI.
• Some early models of DP 1.2 monitors. It may be necessary to disable MST/DP 1.2 using the display OSD.
