AE (and other Adobe products) crashing when connecting to an external monitor

[JoeDaniels]

Are you having issues with AE and other Adobe products crashing the NVIDIA driver when using an external monitor?

Everyone is baffled over this crash. For weeks I've been working with senior techs at HP, Adobe, and NVIDIA and no one is able to resolve. I am using a brand new laptop (very fast):

HP ZBook Fury 17 G7 Workstation

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10850H CPU @ 2.70GHz  2.71 GHz

Hi JoeDaniels,

Sorry for your issue.

By looking at the screenshots, my first suggestion would be to update the GPU driver. If it's updated already then go for a clean installation of the driver. If that doesn't help, changing the Power management mode to Prefer maximum performance in the Nvidia Control panel could help: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3130/~/setting-power-management-mode-from-adapti... 

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,
