    Surface dock and 1803

    I have got a surface pro 2017 edition, and a surface dock, never had a problem with it untill I upgraded to 1803, now I cant get an external screen to work. Both screens simply flash off and on again.


    I have even rebuilt my surface and got the same problem.


    Has anybody else seen this or got any suggestions?
