Windows 10: How to turn off monitor auto detection?

As in, when turning a monitor off, the computer doesn't automatically notice that and change things.

Disabling monitor auto detection on windows 10

I use 3 monitors right now. 2 of them are working great but the main one is having a problem.

when I turn off my primary monitor (Dell s2716dg) the pc does not recognize the monitor and all my desktop is messed up.

I found people are talking about disabling the monitor auto detection to solve this problem but I can not find how to disable it.

Hope you have answers for this problem even if it's not disabling the auto detection and it's another way of solving this problem.

 

Prevent Auto Monitor Detection

Sadly this doesn't work for me.

I changed the value of "UselViewHelper" to 0 and rebooted, but Windows 10 still auto-detected the monitors.

I have been pulling my hair out for months with my Triple 4K setup because every time the computer goes to sleep, the monitors get screwed up. I finally found a program that allows you to manually override EDID info for your displays and force your desired
resolution so the screens will always be setup correctly when you turn on the computer. The program is also free.

Check out Custom Resolution Utility

Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)

Once you run it:

• Disable all of the default "Established Resolutions"
• Delete all of the default "Detailed Resolutions"
• Delete all of the default "Standard Resolutions"
• Add a new "Detailed Resolution"
• Under new "Detailed Resolution" I left all of the settings the same except for the active horizontal and vertical pixel dimensions, which is obviously where you set your desired screen resolution.
• Then repeat steps 1-5 for each monitor.
• Once all monitors are configured properly, close CRU and run the restart.exe or restart64.exe included with CRU and you should be good to go!

I hope this helps other folks who are having similar issues to me with Windows 10 monitor auto detection and displayport connections.
