@Christopher Dorsey can you maybe link to the specific hub you bought? When I Googled "Totu 10-in-1 USB hub", I got results for 6-, 8-, 11, and 12-in-1 hubs, but no 10-in-1. However, is this hub meant to connect over USB-C? If so, then according to the Inspiron 5593's product page here, that system doesn't have a USB-C port. If you're connecting to a USB-A "regular USB" port through some kind of adapter, then that's almost certainly why video isn't working USB-C ports can optionally have an actual video output wired to them directly from the system's GPU. Not all systems with USB-C ports have this since that feature is optional, but many do. As a result, USB-C dongles that have video outputs very often depend on the system having that capability for video output to work. USB-A ports do not support having a video output wired to them. The only way to get video out of a USB-A port is with adapters that use "indirect display" technology like DisplayLink (not to be confused with DisplayPort), but the majority of USB-C multi-purpose adapters do not have that because again they're designed to tap into a video output that's already available on the port they're designed to plug into.
