Macbook LCD Display not working when in Windows Bootcamp

Hi. My LCD display doesn't work when booting in Windows with bootcamp (external monitor still works) When in Mac OS there is no such issue. I have tried the recommended steps of downloading windows support software to flash disk via Disk Utility and doing a repair install in Windows, but this hasn't helped.

My Spec is as per the image. Can anyone help? Thanks

external monitor only, stuck in safe mode MBP running Mojave 10.14.6. The built-in display is broken but I've got it connected to a Dell LCD over HDMI which mostly works great. My problem is I installed the latest round of security patches for 10.14.6 and something went wrong during the update. Rebooting brings me to an error screen: "MacOS could not be installed on this computer. The installer resources were not found." and then a RESTART button at the bottom of the window. Pretty sure I've seen this sort of behavior before, and the internet confirms that clicking restart should allow the installer to sort itself out and boot normally. The problem is, because of the broken laptop display, I can only see the error screen with the clamshell closed, and I can't click the RESTART button with the clamshell closed. I have a USB keyboard but no USB mouse (I assume that would fix the problem but it might be a day or two before I can track down a USB mouse). Opening the clamshell forces the error message back to the broken display and the external monitor is only a grey background; I can move the arrow around with the trackpad but can't interact with the (hidden) error dialogue. I found I can hold shift when booting and can get into safe mode just fine. Booting with Command-R lands me in Recovery mode but it's the same situation where I can only see with the window while the clamshell is closed, and it is not responsive to anything on the external keyboard. I tried holding Option when booting, but am unable to see the boot volume menu even with the clamshell closed. Sooo, my question is: how do I fix this from Safe Mode? I tried running First Aid from Disk Utility which didn't have any effect. Is there a way I can redownload/rerun the patch from safe mode, or some other way to untangle this?

how to change computer input to 1920x1080@60Hz Hi I've been using a Phillips 273V7Q display monitor with my laptop for some time now. Today it just stopped working and says "Cannot display this video mode. Change computer display input to 1900x1080@60Hz." I can't make changes in my Macbook Air to the display unless the display is connected. Unfortunately, I had the display set as my main display. That means that when it is connected my Mac does not display anything and has no live buttons. This is now a circular problem that I can't seem to resolve and I have tried shutting down and updating my mac to the latest Ventura OS. I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting the monitor. Nothing seems to work. In summary, I can't make changes to the display input on my mac unless I connect the display. When I connect the display everything transfers to the Phillips monitor. I cannot see what is on the Phillips monitor as it requires me to change the display input on my mac. Can anyone help please? I am at my wits end and about to start tearing my hair out! Thanks in advance.

iMac Display Resolution Won't stay set (Mojave) My imac is sometimes fuzzy at startup eventually booting up but the only available resolution is 1280x720 If I reboot, sometimes I'll get 3-4 choices with higher resolutions, the higher resolutions work for a while but after the computer falls asleep I lose the resolution options and all that is available is 1280x720 again. How can I keep the resolution consistently high? Its an older iMac with a new hard drive and the monitor is still in really good shape, everything works great other than the finicky resolution. MacOS Mojave iMac 27 inch (Late 2012)

Disconnect the external monitor, run SMC and NVRAM Reset and try to boot into Windows and test.
