Windows 10: How to change Monitor Identities?!

I've been dealing with this issue for years and nobody has ever been able to confirm an answer. I am extremely disappointed that I am unable to change the identity of my monitors.


The only TEMPORARY fix occurs when I uninstall my monitors, delete their registry keys, then turn on my computer and reconnect the monitors one by one in the order I wish for them to be identified. However, that only works for that particular session. As soon as I restart my machine Windows changes the monitor identities causing them to get all wonky again.


The AMD Catalyst software is correct and predictable. The Windows software is not. As I add further monitors to my setup (I've tested 1 - 5 monitors) Windows auto changes the identity upon reboot.


In the below image I clicked the "Identify" option on both Windows and the AMD Graphics card settings at the same time. Monitor 1 is the same but 2 and 3 are incorrect. It gets even more confusing when I add my Oculus Rift to the setup. This is causing some of my software to constantly crash.


Can anyone please help me get this fixed?

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:
