Windows 10: Icons on monitor 2 seem to sleep for about 5s after I wakeup the monitors

I don't have the PC going to sleep at all, but the displays do turn off. Often when I hit spacebar or something to bring the system up, and after fingerprint login, I cannot click on any of the icons on monitor 2 for about 5 seconds, then they will work as expected. On monitor 1 this never happens, however monitor 2 is set as my primary monitor so that is where most of the icons are located. After it's "awake" again, all icons click as normal. It kind of acts like HD spinup , but why would it work on 1 monitor and not the other at exactly the same time?I have looked at sleep settings. Som

Monitor Sleep Repositions Icons and Windows

Thank you for your suggestions.

I have tried turning off align to grid and rebooting in safe and clean modes. None makes any difference. In fact, rebooting does not reset the icons (which is good). But turning the monitor off and on, or allowing it to go to sleep mode does.

The only workaround I have is to disable monitor sleep completely and leave a 43" monitor running all day and night.

Continuous Device Connect/Disonnect Sound when HP W2207 Monitor Sleeps

Hope someone can help.

HP Pavilion p7-1287c Desktop PC with HP W2207 monitor, running Windows 10. DVI cable from monitor to PC.

Here's what's happening:

• If signed out of windows the monitor sleeps without issue.
• If signed on to windows the monitor sleeps and the computer loops the device connect/disconnect sound.
• If using VGA cable no issues with monitor sleeping but computer won't sleep.
• Have disconnected all USB devices except wireless mouse/keyboard combo.
• Have tested with wired USB mouse and keyboard same issue.
• Have ensured all drivers are updated to the latest versions.
• Have tried playing with the Advanced Power Option settings for USB and no change in behavior.
• Have tried requiring a password on wakeup and still no change.
• Would like to keep the DVI cable vs going back to VGA.

Please don't suggest turning off the sound for connecting/disconnecting devices.

Thanks.
