Hi All,
I have a MSI MAG Tomahawk Z890 wifi motherboard with intel Ultra 7 265K processor.
I have connected my monitor to the HDMI port & 2 thunderbolt ports are connected to the Sony Bravia TV & a projector.
In windows 11, it is showing my monitor as #3, TV as #1 & projector as #2.
i made my monitor as primary display ( main display), so all the icons are in my monitor only.
but during boot , the MSI logo or BIOS are displaying only in my TV.
Is there anyway i can change through settings other than switching the HDMI cable & thunderbolt cables?( i have connected the TV HDMI cable to the thunderbolt through an adapter)

don't think there's any option to change where to display before you enter OS, it depends on graphics card (vbios?).

I'd assume that way, it's the same question when ppl ask why BIOS always output from the graphics card that is not on slot 1 :bonk:

Hi,

I saw your post and was hoping you could help shed some light. You mentioned having displays connected via HDMI, TB1, and TB2 — which suggests you’ve got DisplayPort Alt Mode working over both Thunderbolt ports on the MAG Z890 TOMAHAWK WIFI.

That’s exactly what I’ve been trying to get working, but with no success. I’m using a Dell U2722D monitor and a known good USB-C to DisplayPort cable, and no matter which Thunderbolt 4 port I use, I can’t get a signal. The monitor works fine via HDMI, but the USB-C connection is a dead end.

I’ve enabled all the Thunderbolt/USB4/iGPU BIOS options, installed all the latest chipset, ME, Serial IO, and Thunderbolt drivers (from both MSI and Intel), and even did a repair install of Windows 11 just to rule out corruption. Still nothing.

Thunderbolt shows up clean in Device Manager, but DisplayPort Alt Mode never kicks in, and I get a WUDFRd driver failure (Event 219) on every boot. No UCSI or USB4 routing devices show up either

I’ve submitted a ticket to MSI support, but figured it couldn’t hurt to ask here too. Since you’ve got all three outputs working — did you have to install any additional drivers, toggle a particular BIOS setting, or use a specific type of monitor/cable combo? I’d really appreciate any details you can share.

Thanks in advance!
