    Disconnecting/connecting and shuffling icons/windows when multiple monitors wake from...


    I've seen many topics on this and similar very issues with multiple monitors connected through DisplayPort. Here is a short video showing my exact issue - ASUS VG27AQ & PHILIPS 253V7LJAB waking from standby PHILIPS monitor on the left and ASUS on the right. The PHILIPS monitor wakes up no problem and in general has had no issues when previously connected with other monitors, but the ASUS takes longer than it should and disconnects/reconnects and makes the icons shuffle around. Both are connected to an RTX 3070 FE through DisplayPort. If I connect the ASUS th

    i have a problem to connect 2 monitors.

    Hi Ron,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    • What changes did you make in the BIOS? As making the changes in the BIOS is only recommended by Microsoft if done by the manufacturer.
    • How are you connecting to the 2nd monitor?
    I suggest you to follow the steps from this article below:

    Windows help & learning - Microsoft Support

    [Applies to Windows 10 as well]

    Regards.

    Using laptop as desktop - can't wake it from sleep with wireless mouse or keyboard.

    • 4. Test waking from Sleep with the monitor connected to the laptop.
    • 5. Disconnect the monitor from the laptop, reboot, then test waking from Sleep without an external monitor.

    No luck with monitor connected. Disconnected the monitor, rebooted, then tested wake-from-sleep with no external monitor - no luck.

    Disconnecting/connecting and shuffling icons/windows when multiple monitors wake from...

    (4K DP, 1440p DP, 1200p DVI-D) Triple monitor setup; 2 monitors have the same background when background is set to slideshow shuffle

    My setup:

    • CPU: Intel Core i7-3770
    • GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition, fully updated drivers
    • OS: Windows 10 Pro v1803, fully patched

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Connect the monitors as in the title
    2. Set wallpaper background to shuffle in Windows Settings

    What happens:

    2 of the monitors (always adjacent to each other) have the same background.

    What should happen:

    All 3 monitors should have different backgrounds.

    Anyone ever seen this before? Any ideas?
