Windows 10: Is there a way to change the identity of two monitors? This is impacting my VDI setup at work.

In other words, my home setup has 2 monitors and a laptop. The order of each is:a Monitor is 3 is currently on the leftb Laptop is in the middle display 1 c Monitor 2 is on the right display 2. Mouse flows from left to right between all three and no issues.I would like to make display 3 become display 2, keep display 1 in the middle and make display 2 become display 3 while also allowing the mouse to go from left to right between all the displays. I have tried dragging and making the order 2 1 3 but that does not let the mouse go from left to right. I feel like many people have this issue b

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?

Hi Yuri,

To setup dual monitors, I suggest you to press Windows + P keys

• Press Windows key + X and select Device Manager.
• Expand Display Adapters.
• Right click on the driver and select Update Driver Software.
• Follow the on-screen prompts to update the driver.
