Quick answer
Check the monitor's USB upstream connection. A working HDMI or DisplayPort picture does not by itself connect the monitor's USB hub to the computer.
Understand the issue
Use the monitor manual to identify upstream and downstream ports. The required cable arrangement depends on the model; some support USB-C while others use a separate USB upstream cable. Start with a simple peripheral rather than an important storage drive to avoid interrupting file operations.
Step-by-step checks
- Confirm the model and locate its upstream USB port.
- Connect the supported upstream cable to the computer.
- Test a basic mouse in a downstream port.
