Windows 10: Dual monitor issue

Hi Guys,

My computer just had the most recent update and its caused me a problem with my 2nd monitor.

My main monitor is connected via HDMI and my 2nd is via DVI cable both to my graphics card. Since the update the screen still displays in its native 1920 x 1080 but the screen is blurry (not just the text). This was not an issue before the update and both monitors worked great. The 2nd Monitor is a Dell ST2220.

Things I have tried:

Reinstalling the graphics card drivers and make sure they are updated.
Tried to get driver for the monitor through Dell but according to the website Windows 10 did not require a driver for my monitor
Turned monitors on/off tried them separately etc and still seem to have the same problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

:)

 

Dual Monitor Issues

Hm. You'd probably want to go the Settings application, go to System then to Display. Check each monitor there. The screensaver should be showing up on the one marked '1'. Are both monitors set to 100%? You can check that by clicking each one in turn.

Screensavers in general are a really old technology: it's possible this one doesn't support some new hotness your system is trying to do. Generally the Lock Screen Slideshow as found in the Settings application under Personalization :: Lock Screen is much
more functional and should be less prone to strange errors such as this.

Hi Dakota,

Check if the monitor is set to Extend or Duplicate. Press Windows key + P and select
Extend. This should expand the desktop so you can make room for extra windows.

If the issue still persist, try updating the drivers and check if it helps.

• Press Windows + X, click on
  Device Manager.
• Expand Display adapter from the list.
• Right click on device and click on
  Update driver Software.

Hope this helps. Keep us updated with the status of the issue to continue assisting you further.

Thank you.

 

Shot in the dark but go to Settings > System > Display Then make sure the slider for change size of text... is set to 100%. As per this, https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/5...dows-10-a.html

 

sounds like a HDMI overscan issue to me, anything between 5-15% - that can be handled by setting it from the gfx card software settings or checking the monitor / TV setup that it has overscan OFF.

thats my 5 cents
