  1. Monitor keeps moving my tab to my other monitor when the screen comes back on.


    Just got a 144hz monitor so I don't know if this is the issue but I have my old 60hz 1080p monitor on my right and my old vga monitor on my left. I'll have a tab on my 144hz monitor and when the PC's display turns off after not using it for a bit, it will move the tab I had on the 144hz monitor to my 60hz monitor. Does anyone know why it keeps doing this?

    :)

  2. Second monitor screen resolution problem

    Hi,

    For us to properly isolate the issue with your second monitor screen resolution, we would like to know the following:


    • Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue (e.g., updates, software installation)?

    • When did the issue first begin?

    • To make sure that we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you try resetting your monitor settings, and check if the issue still persists. You may refer to your monitor on how to reset it.

    We look forward to your response.

  3. Desktop icons move from main screen to extended screen monitor

    Thank you! Your post was very helpful up to a point. My system is using a Dell Laptop and a 27" external monitor. It uses the Intel Graphics Adapter and Intel Display Settings utility, so I can't just follow along with your step-by-step procedures. My Primary
    has been the Laptop display and all Icons have resided there until a week ago. Now the Icons have moved to the second monitor and they go back to the laptop if I set it for built-in display only.

    Monitor keeps moving my tab to my other monitor when the screen comes back on.

    Black screen /Monitor

    Windows 10 update for 11/14/ made my monitor screen darker than usual when it comes on and that is for about 30 seconds at a time then it goes black. I have to keep turning the monitor off and on; the computer stays on the entire time. I tried setting
    the system back to an earlier time and other suggestions on your page but nothing works.
