Explanation

Laptops use a Function (Fn) key combined with a specific F-key (commonly F4, F5, F7, or F8 depending on the manufacturer) to toggle display output modes: laptop only, projector only, or both (extended/mirrored). This key combination is the most common and quickest fix when a projector suddenly stops displaying the laptop's output. Reinstalling drivers, rebooting, or reseating cables are secondary steps if the Fn key toggle does not resolve the issue.
