Set up your TV in display settings in windows. Make sure it is actually using it.

Did the friend try it on the same tv or their own?

In Windows 10 open the home menu (Down left corner by default), without clicking on any text box, type in "Display Settings". Open the first result and then scroll down to the bottom of the program you opened. There's a cluster called "Multiple Displays". Then there is a prompt under that cluster which makes you choose between 4 options : "Duplicate these displays" ; "Extend these displays" ; "Show only on 1" ; "Show only on 2".
You're going to want to choose the first option - "Duplicate these displays" - this will run the same video output to both of the screens.
IF there is any clipping around the edges on your TV, go into the TV's screen settings, find the "aspect ratio" option or "screen size" option, it really just depends on what brand or model, important thing is to find the option. From the option choose "Fit screen" or something of that effect.

 

Hope this was helpful. Sorry if my tone is a bit babysitter-ish.

my vcard can sometimes behave like this after I've stripped it during a clean.

It ignores the display port and keeps POSting through an HDMI port. (mis gtx1070 armor on gigagbyte z77  d3h with OC'd i5-3570k)

 

Sorry I don't know what causes it or how to fix it properly.

I just forced it to use the monitor I wanted from boot by giving it no other options because I unplug the other one. Then when I plug the second one in after windows is loaded it starts behaving.

 

ymmv
