Will a USB-C /Thunderbolt Connected Monitor Work During POST?
Graphics displayed via the built-in graphics from an Intel CPU or a graphics card installed in a PCIe slot get initialized at boot so that you can see the display prior to booting Windows. Graphics adapters that are connected via USB require a Windows Driver from DisplayLink and therefore are not initialized until Windows is loaded. However, I have no experience with native USB-C / Thunderbolt graphics. Does anyone know if these initialize at boot or will they only work once Windows is booted?
I'm looking at a monitor that has a native USB-C connection but I want it to work before Windows is loaded so I can do things like go into the BIOS without needing to connect a different monitor.
