Windows 10: Displays appear the wrong way around

I just bought my new monitor Alienware AW3225QF and new GPU MSI GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GAMING TRIO OC 16G. Before I go any further I have already tried dragging the monitors to be the right way around. That doesn't work. It keeps assigning them the wrong number.Monitor 1 Alienware AW3225QF is assigned as monitor 2 and monitor 2 AOC Agon AG271QX is assigned as monitor 1. The icons are in the correct positions. The mouse cursor moves correctly left to right as it should. But in Windows displays settings and nvidia control panel they are assigned the wrong number. Yes I have tried dragging

:)

 

On 'Extend displays' screens are identifying as the wrong way round in Windows 10

Hi Becky,

With regard to your query, we suggest that you change the main display settings. Follow the steps below:

How to troubleshoot an error that appears only at Restart or Sign out?

I get an error pop-up error message not every, but almost every time I Restart or Sign out. It's the screen with blue background and on top of Restart or Sign out text an error window says:

Explorer.exe - Application error. The instruction at 0x000… referenced memory at 0x000... The memory could not be written.

Sometimes the error code is just zeros, sometimes random numbers. I have tried so much already to troubleshoot this. For example these did not help in any way:

• MemTest86+ (no problems)
• Disabling any Services, Autoruns/ShellExView entries
• Low resolution mode
• BIOS settings are fine, no overclocking etc.
• DISM.exe and sfc
• etc.

However, these do make the error go away:

• End process for explorer.exe before Restart or Sign out
• Safe Mode
• Creating a new user profile (almost the same as clean installing Windows, many full days of work)
• Uninstalling NVIDIA graphics driver (then the card is unusable, of course)
• Disabling Device Manager / Display Adapters / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080

I already contacted NVIDIA and the graphics driver is not the culprit. Something has gone wrong with the user profile as the same driver works just fine in a new profile (and there's nothing wrong with the driver anyway, it's just the Restart or Sign out process that has a problem).

What can I do to fix this? One useful thing would be to have a step-by-step procedure for the Sign out. So that it'd ask before continuing to the next step and list what it's doing. Or if I could just disable whatever it does when the error appears.
