    Apps switched from one monitor to the other during standby


    I have a dual monitor system running Windows 10 v. 1903. Sometimes when I put the computer into standby, I will hear at some later time some Windows sounds and when I wake it up, I will find that the (locked) taskbar along with other apps I had opened on one monitor (secondary) are all showing on the other (primary). Occasionally they can be located partially off-screen, so it's impossible to reach the title bar to move them. Even if I unlock the taskbar, I can't drag it back to the original monitor. If I move all the apps to the other monitor I am now able to drag the taskbar. I've checked the monitor cable connections and they seem fine. What else could be doing this, especially when the computer is in standby?

    :)

  3. Pc will not wake up from Standby

    i would suggest you check how it is set to resume from standby, does your monitor automatically power off when the computer is turned off or do you have to press the power button on the monitor itself?

    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)
