I was really frustrated last night when I accidentally damaged my Win10 tablet's touch screen so badly it now only shows solid color and artifacts. I need to connect it to a monitor for a short time to copy data to the cloud, but it lacks video ports—only one USB-C and two USB 2.0 ports. Is there a Plug & Play adapter that works without drivers or any setup?

Certainly! Could you let me know the make and model of your tablet?

I just discovered (I never really looked) that there is a "micro-HDMI" port on the side of the tablet.
I never noticed it before (or forgot) and it's not mentioned at the above link (but is in the manual.) So tomorrow I'll buy a "Micro-HDMI to HDMI Adapter for $5" and pray it works.

If the tablet is a newer model, the USB-C port might be able to handle video output if it also supports Thunderbolt 3/4, though I'm unsure if the Atom CPU or its integrated GPU can do that. If it can, you can purchase an adapter from USB-C to HDMI for around $25-30. Alternatively, a micro-to-HDMI adapter would also work, depending on your CPU/iGPU capabilities. 😊

Late follow-up for those who might need it later.
I found the micro-HDMI port on the tablet and it functioned flawlessly!
I also located a budget Micro-HDMI to HDMI adapter for just $5. I connected it to the tablet, used the adapter with my monitor, and everything worked perfectly—no drivers or extra software required.
Whew!
