    "Jammed" window on second screen


    I use Windows 10, latest version. Problem is with ACDSee, not with any other app.

    I opened ACDSee on my main screen, full size. I then opened Help and dragged it over to second screen so that I could have both the Help and the app visible at the same time. When I did this yesterday, no problem; both open full screen on their respective screens.

    Today however, the Help screen opened on the second screen, but opened at reduced size and hard up to top right of screen. The problem is that it is so hard up to the top that the tool bar is not visible. I can't alter the size of the display (other than by dragging margins), not close it (no X visible) and worse of all, as I can't see the bar, I can't drag the screen anywhere. All it needs is to be dragged down a bit then I could see toolbar and controls. The only way I can close it is by closing the main app on the first screen.

    Suggestions would be welcome.

    :)

  2. Project Second screen constantly appearing.

    Hi Norga,

    Thank you for using Windows 10.

    Let us know some more information so that we can diagnose and troubleshoot the issue in a better way:

    • what is the exact issue that you want us to help with? Do you want to get help in projecting a second screen or to remove the popup?
    • As you've said " I tried unsuccessfully to project a screen", do you wish to project a second screen currently?
    • What happened exactly when you tried to project a second screen? Did you receive any error message or any error code?
    The popup comes as the system might not be able to detect the monitors. I suggest you to update the Display drivers, it may force the system to detect the available monitors. Here is the steps:

    • Press “Windows + X” and select Device manger.
    • Locate the driver and expand the driver icon.
    • Right click on the driver icon and click on Update.

    Reply with the information and we'll be happy to assist you.

    Returning Windows to Second Screen

    Hello Kate,

    Let's try to isolate the issue and see what is preventing you from using Windows to second screen. Kindly provide us the following information:

    • When you turned on your computer, does it give you an extended display for both monitor screen and your laptop?
    • Is your monitor screen already connected to your laptop before turning it on?
    • What cable are you using to connect your second monitor to your laptop?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried?

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds
