Hello, I am new to this site so tell me if i do something wrong.

I have encountered a problem that has been with me for few years.

Long time ago i broke my laptop screen, and am forced to use external screen since then, using HDMI cable. (only available port on the laptop)

The main broken screen still acts like it is working, but is not usable. external screen is detected as 2nd screen. i successfully set it up to show like a main screen, but it does not work outside of awake system state. 

And here is the problem. everything happening in BIOS, recovery screen, Windows update – all stuff that is happening outside of normal running state of the computer is only showing on the main, broken screen. It is incredibly difficult to navigate through menus in this state.

There were cases where magically it would show on external screen but it happened for a very short period of time and did not know the cause. also happened quite a long time ago so i don’t remember too much.

Solution I am looking for is to get external monitor/screen working through HDMI in BIOS and similiar stuff. 

Here is some basic information about my device:

-Laptop model: Huawei MateBook D (2019)

-System: Windows 10 Home

I will be happy to cooperate to reach my solution.
