Generic PnP monitor driver defects

I have 2 Samsung monitors on my Win10 64 bit Nvidia Quattro1000 system. From the Device manager, it is impossible to tell which of the two listed drivers is driving which monitor.





However, one of them has a very sticky Generic driver, which causes colour differnces between the two screens. I have updated the drivers for both screens, but the old driver for screen 2 is still Generic. It seems as though the generic drive listed for screeen 2 is actually the driver for screen1, and vice versa





I have tried uninstalling then reinstalling, but all that did was to change Generic PnP to Samsung Generic PnP.

On switching the computer on, the two monitors show the same colour, but after about 10 minutes, screen 2 suddenly clicks into a new blue colour.

 

Why is my 2nd monitor no longer working?!

All I did was unplug my 2nd monitor for a second. Windows no longer recognises it. In fact it thinks my Dell monitor is just a generic pnp monitor whereas before it listed the name. The graphics card seems to work, the cables work, the monitors are on. So why does it no longer detect the 2nd monitor?!
