Jump to PostYou asked about some USB to VGA adapter cable but didn't supply the link. That said there has never been a "cable" that adapts USB to VGA without some circuitry but there are scammers that will sell under 10 dollar cables that don't work. Only the new or foolish buy …
Jump to PostIt's still good for other things like high speed usb to video cards.
This seems to be a rehash of https://www.daniweb.com/hardware-and-software/hardware/threads/516307/add-two-external-monitors
If your laptop has Display Port via its USB C port you don't need USB Display cards.
i brought USB 3 to vga cable https://mixmax-me.com/product/vmax-type-c-to-vga-adapter-cable-1080-pixel/ but it dint work so i returned it to seller.
At store they tried with Lenovo USB 3.0 type c to HDMI adeptor it also din't ditect monitor. They are suggesting to go for USB to VGA adaptor.

Sorry if you feel slighted by me writing that.
I never could find your laptop model so if you want this many monitors the solutions are USB to video convertors which are mildly priced to some USB 3.x to Display Port which will only require one adapter for many displays. The downside is speed but for stock charting, excel and such will be fine.

how can i check if my USB-C port is display port or not
Ask the laptop maker. In your posts you never shared the maker's site or link to what model you have so it's best to talk to the maker's support now.
It appears Type - C is not video enabled
I could find below link ( Refer page 27 )
