  1. Keeping windows on the screen I want when pluging/unpluging monitors


    Hi,

    I've 2 computers, a classic desktop (personal) and a laptop (for work).

    I've 2 monitors, one for my desktop, and one the I share between my desktop and my laptop with a KVM switch (depending on which PC I need to control).

    When I remove a monitor (leaving either the laptop or the desktop with only one screen left), all the windows goes to that only screen (which is normal), but when I switch again and get the screen back, the windows stays where they were.

    Would it be possible to keep track of where everything is when there's 2 screens, put everything on the same screen when there's only one, and then put everything back where it was when I plug the second screen again ?

    I've windows 10 on both computers

    ?Mount ext drive without unpluging/pluging?

    I use it all the time. AHCI mode for hot swapping sata.

    Rt click the Hotswap! icon:

    Left click the icon and scan for hardware changes:

    In a few seconds, you will see the driver installing.

    Rt click again - now you see it - this is a usb stick.

  3. Why is everything so big if the monitor gets unplugged?

    I haven't tried any of these suggestions, but the monitor coming unplugged happens when the computer is off. I walk past the computer a lot and there's really not a good way, if I step on the duct tape, to prevent the monitor from coming unplugged.

    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
