  1. Secondary monitor moves to right side when disabled


    Hello.


    I have two monitor but don`t use extended display feature all the time.

    The secondary monitor is on the left side of my table. And everytime that I disable the extended monitor feature the secondary monitor moves to the right side on the config, so I`ve to drag it left everytime that I enable the exteded display.


    Isn`t there a way to keep the secondary monitor on the left side of the setup?

    :)

  2. I want to move spell checker window to a non primary monitor

    I use my Internet Explorer on my secondary window. I have a misspelled word, I right click, the window with suggestions add to dictionary, is on the primary window. I don't want that. If I change primary and secondary windows, I can't move my mouse left
    to right, its stops at the new secondary window.

    I want to move the suggested spelling window to the secondary monitor.

    Windows & desktop icons on secondary monitor are moved to primary monitor after standby

    I had been using 2 monitors with the same resolution (1280x1024) without issues. I recently replaced my primary monitor with a 1920x1080 monitor. Every time the system wakes up from standby everything from the secondary monitor is moved to the primary monitor.
    Strangely enough, the desktop icons and the windows (explorer & applications) are not always moved.

    I have already tried to delete corrupted registry entries as stated in
    this thread
    . There were 3 monitors listed with different resolutions. That did nothing.

    System specs:

    OS: Windows 7 pro (64-bit)

    Video card: AMD R7 260X

    primary monitor cable: DVI

    secondary monitor cable: DVI output -> VGA adaptor

  4. Secondary monitor moves to right side when disabled

    Unable to interact with the content on the secondary monitor

    I have three monitors plugged into a evga GTX 1060 ACX 2.0, the system is running latest Windows 10 pro.

    Every night I put the computer to sleep. Occasionally, and more frequently the past week, I wake the computer in the morning to find very strange behavior:

    • Whatever monitor is my main display works perfectly
    • Secondary monitors turn on and show the last content they had (any open browsers, programs, etc)
    • I can move my mouse into the secondary screens and see it moving around just fine
    • When I click or do any kind of interaction on those screen, the visuals do not update (again, mouse around moving is fine)
      • Click a window, the window focus never shows; scroll or press a button on a website, doesn't show any changes; click the Windows button, menu doesn't open
    • However, I can still interact with the screens despite not being able to see what I'm changing
      • Drag a window off the screen and it magically appears on the main display; press the 1-Click buy on an Amazon item, receive it 2-5 business days later
    • Changing the main display changes the screen I can interact with
    • Mucking with the resolution of the secondary monitors does not fix the issue but it does update their visuals
    • Display driver details:
      • Date: 2018-11-12
      • Version: 25.21.14.1694
    • I am in the process of downloading NVidia 2019 drivers to see if that helps

    The only fix I've found so far (with my limited experience debugging display issues) is restarting the computer. Help!

    ***Modified title from: Secondary display content is frozen, can still see mouse and "interact" with frozen windows***
