  3. 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 would
    functionally 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.

    Hi Raven,

    You can choose from the list of monitors, which screen you want to make as your main display. To do so, please follow the steps below:

    • Right-click on your desktop, then select Display settings.
    • Under Customize your display, select which screen you want to make as the main display.
    • Check Make this my main display, then click Apply.
