  1. 2 Monitor Display - Display 1 stuck on wrong monitor


    I have a 2-monitor setup. As recently as yesterday 1/20/2020, the display settings had Display 1 on the left monitor main display and Display 2 on the right monitor. Today, Display 1 is on the right monitor regardless of how I configure the display settings.


    In the top screenshot, in the image below, Display 1 is on the right and Display 2 is on the left in the display settings. This is consistent with the layout that 'Identify' ... identifies. In the bottom screenshot, the display settings show Display 1 on the left and Display 2 on the right, however 'Identify' shows Display 1 on the right and Display 2 on the left.

    For what it is worth, these screenshots are edited to be consistent with my monitor setup. When the display settings show Display 1 on the left and Display 2 on the right, both the cursor and a raw screenshot behave as if that is true.However, Display 1 is stuck on the right monitor, so these screenshots show what I am seeing.


    I have tried unplugging and re-plugging the monitors, uninstalling and re-installing the display drivers, and rebooting the computer. Nothing satisfactorily resolves my problem, which is that regardless of the display settings, Display 1 is stuck on the right monitor. I could make Display 2 my main display and have that be on the left, which wouldfunctionally make the setup do what I want, but would not resolve the actual problem of Display 1 being stuck on the right monitor. Since the displays were set how I wanted them yesterday, clearly something has changed, and I'd like to know what.

    :)

  2. Monitor Display

    I found Latvian in the choices for a monitor display. It displayed on Monitor 1 but not on Monitor 2. Now I can't find where I got it to retry. Suggestions?

    2 Monitor Display - Display 1 stuck on wrong monitor

    Change monitor 2 to monitor 1 and make it stay.

    I did as you suggested, but the problem was not resolved. Windows detects the monitors just fine, but I need to switch monitor 2 to be numbered monitor 1. The main diplay has not effect, as once monitor 1 is turned on monitor two looses display.
