  1. Windows keeps forgetting monitor settings


    I have two monitors connected to one system, I never use both at the same time because I have this set up so I can use my system at two different positions. One is 60Hz and the other 144Hz. Everytime I switch monitors my 144Hz sets to default 60Hz.


    Is there any way to make Windows remember monitor settings per monitor?

    :)

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit

    Forget second monitor completely

    Hi Shovyd,

    Settings created for external devices are also remembered by Windows. Basically, you just need to configure your display settings when the external monitors are connected. From my understanding, your primary display (your laptop) appears blank when the secondary
    monitor is connected. If this is the case, try these steps:

    1. Right-click on the Start menu button, and select Settings.
    2. Select System.
    3. On the Display tab, change the Multiple displays settings to
      Extend these displays.

    These will then be remembered by Windows the next time you reconnect your external monitor/s.

    If you would like me to provide additional advice, simply respond to this thread. I will get notified and I’ll reply to you as soon as I can.
