Windows 10: Items on desktop appearing on whichever display I don't have set to be my main display

After installing some software and doing some updates on directX and stuff, somehow all of the items on my desktop got switch to my external display. If i go into display settings and set the external monitor as my main display, the items get switched back to my laptop screen. So yeah, the items on my desktop are behaving the exact opposite way as they should. They should be on my main display. I can't even bring them back there by dragging and dropping. Any idea how to fix this program?

Hi Julia,



To reset the settings back to default, follow these steps:

• Go to your desktop, right click and select Display Settings.
• Choose the appropriate settings from the options under Display.

Let us know if the above steps resolved the issue.
