  1. Windows switching to Second Display


    My current duel screen set up is my main Dell 24' display connected to the videocard via a displayport cable, and a my secondary old 19' monitor connected to the video card with a VGA cable use a vga to dvi adaptor.

    I only occasionally use the second display, so its turned off most of the time. However, whenever i turn off the main display when i come back to turn it on Windows 10 moves all of the open Windows to the second display. I've searched, and it seems to be an ongoing issue with windows 10 and displayport. I can't seem to find any recent mention of this issue - is it fixed without having to resort ot 3rd party software?

  2. Taskbar bug: switching to another window -will not appear at the front


    Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

    1. Press Windows key + X key and click on Control Panel.
    2. Select or click Ease of Access.
    3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
    4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
    5. Check if issue is resolved.
    Method 2:
    I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

    1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
    2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
    3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
    4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
    5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.
