I am trying to plug my Windows 11 laptop into an external screen using a USB-C port. I tried this way before but it is not working right now. When I connect the cable, the laptop makes a noise (which shows that it detects the connection). However, it does not automatically start casting to the external display. When I click "Detect" in the settings, nothing happens. I have checked all my drivers and they are okay.
