Windows 10: I need help with programs switching between multiple displays when one is disconnected

Hi, I'm having this problem where if I have programs open on my main display, and I turn off my main display, every program on my 1st display moves to my 2nd display. Is there a way I can stop it from doing that? This wasn't a problem like ~1-2 years ago ish.I'm not sure if it was a Windows update or an Nvidia update that caused the problem, but it's very annoying now and I was wondering if anyone had some insight/solution for this problem. Thanks in advance~!

Multiple Displays - keep switching between extend and duplicate on their own

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

This seems like a Display driver issue, hence I'd recommend you to download and install the most recent display drivers from the manufacturer's website.

I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall display drivers in compatibility mode and check if it helps:

Step 1: Uninstall the Display driver from Device Manager.

Follow the steps to uninstall the Display driver.

• Press Windows Key + X and then click Device Manger.
• Search for Display Adapters and expand it.
• Right click on the Microsoft Basic Display Adapters and select Uninstall.
• Follow the prompt and restart the computer.

Step 2: Install the Display driver in compatibility mode:

a. Right click on the setup file of the driver and select
Properties

b. Select Compatibility Tab

c. Place a check mark next to Run this program in Compatibility mode
and select the operating system accordingly from the drop down list

d. Let the driver to install and then check the functionality.
