    I'm ready to act following suggestions (if any) before...going through the restore (please don't misunderstand, I'm not looking forward doing it).

    I appreciate in any case your help

  3. Display setting reverts to "Duplicate" instead of staying at "Second Screen Only" after sleep on Windows 10

    Thank you for the reply Ariel.

    To answer your first 3 questions:

    • When does the issue start? It has always been this way, as I just started using the laptop with a second monitor recently.
    • Is your laptop runs the latest Windows update? Yes
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far? I tried checking the graphics driver and generally playing around with the display settings.

    I tried your suggested steps of using "Extend these displays" first, then check the second monitor as the main display (nice). Then I selected "Show only on 2", which disabled the "Make this main display" for 2, but stayed checked at least. (see image #1)

    The bad news is that after sleep or restart, it reverts back to "Extend" mode (see image #2).

    It's still an improvement from before (which was reverting to Duplicate) because at least now the main monitor isn't shrinking down to a tiny screen size to match the laptop. However, I still want to stay at "Show only on 2". Any other ideas?

    Revert back to previous versions

    I installed Windows 10 1 week ago and need to revert to windows 8.1. I have tried both of your suggestion to revert and a) do not have a 'revert to windows 8.1' listing on my settings-restore page and b) when I restart the PC holding the shift key and
    select 'revert to previous build' I get a WDF Violation error and the system restarts Windows 10. There is a windows.old folder. I'm stuck, what can I do to restore Windows 8.1?
