    I already set my second monitor as the default, got the config on Always second display, but every time I hibernate windows it wakes up using my laptop screen (which I have almost entirely closed) and not my second display. SO I have to blindly put on my password, and then W+P every damn time.

    And not only that, my second display it's for 4k and 75% of the times display scaling just breaks and my games run with stuttering. IDK why, but it happens and it's always when I have to change between displays (the game is not open).

    In the end, 100% of the times, my laptop awakes to its display attached, 75% of the times when I change to the external the display scaling breaks, and 25% of those, I have to restart.

    I know it's probably cuz my integrated display it's attached to the Intel Hd Graphics and my external (via HDMI) to my Nvidia GPU.

    Any way to force, I don't care how brute force it will be, in the register, or whatever to just stop that from happening.

    second display configuration issue

    Hi All,

    My configuration:

    Windows 10 Pro x64
    AMD Radeon HD 7800

    Latest updates and video drivers installed, no hardware changes for 2+ months, latest significant Windows update 2 weeks ago, latest AMD video driver installed at least a week ago.


    I have 2 identical displays connected via DVI to Windows PC over several years already with "Extend displays" configuration, and suddenly this configuration stopped working a couple of days ago when I was in the middle of doing something. Windows just replaced it with "Duplicate displays" configuration.


    During PC startup I see BIOS diagnostics on both displays. Windows detects 2 displays. "Show only on 1" and "Show only on 2" options work as expected.


    Problem: "Extend these displays" results in display 1 going blank and display 2 shows it's part of the image.


    AMD Eyefinity (which creates virtual desktop over several monitors) works fine - which suggests that problem maybe only with Windows configuration.


    What is done:

    • checked cables
    • removed and installed again latest AMD drivers
    • removed second display from the System Devices, refreshed hardware list and added display again - now I have "Generic PnP monitor" and monitor with correct name in Monitors section
    • searched for latest drivers for monitors and display adapters from Device Manager, nothing found

    Next I replaced one monitor with monitor from different manufacturer, and everything works as expected - "Extend these displays" configuration shows extended image.


    Any ideas what else can be done to fix the problem?


    Thank you in advance.

    Windows 10 can't stay awake

    Grep and Kapil,

    Thank you for your help. I was not able to get the Windows 10 to stay awake the configured 30 minutes. But, going through the steps provided, I was able to improve Windows staying awake from 2 minutes to 11 minutes. Why 11 minutes? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Laptop display question

    Confusing statement! You want to change the display on your laptop that died?

    Is that correct?

    How do you know its the display that's bad?

    Just google "how to change display on a acer 5745"

    Should get you to step by step instructions. But first make sure its the display that's bad
