    Monitors set to "Disconnect this display" on startup


    I have a 3 monitor setup, with my primary monitor set to monitor 2. Whenever I restart or update my computer it will change the monitor settings for monitor 2 and 3 to "Disconnect this display" rather than "Extend desktop to this display." This is very annoying because monitor 1 is a TV that I use when I want to play games laying down, so I have to sit at an awkward angle to change the settings back to normal. Is there any way I can prevent windows from changing my monitor settings on a reboot?

    :)

    External monitor display settings

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



    I understand that you are facing issues with the display scaling on your external displays. We will certainly look into this for you.

    As you are using Vizio TV, you may have to try using custom resolution settings if the in-built settings do not provide the required settings.

    For better clarity, please let us know:

    • What is the version of Windows 10 that is currently installed on your computer? You can click on Search and type
      winver.
    • Are you aware of any recent changes to the system, such as updates, after which you are facing this issue?
    • What is the make and model of your computer?


    Meanwhile, I would suggest you to check the steps mentioned in the Workaround section in

    Windows scaling issues for high-DPI devices


    I would also suggest you to check the Display drivers. Please refer

    Troubleshoot external monitor connections in Windows 10


    Set up dual monitors on Windows 10



    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards,

    Vivian S

    Monitors set to "Disconnect this display" on startup

    Primary monitor blacks out after disconnecting from external

    Hi Oscar,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forums.



    • Are you aware of any changes that happened on the computer prior to this issue?


    This issue could be due to the display setting corruption that only affected the primary display when disconnected from the secondary.



    I suggest you to try the steps listed below and check if it works for you:

    • Press ‘Win + R’ keys on the keyboard together to open the Run dialog box and type the following into the Run box:
      appwiz.cpl
    • Uninstall Intel HD Graphics Drivers and exit
      Programs and Features.
    • Right click the Windows icon on the taskbar and choose
      Device Manager
      .
    • Expand Display Adapters and right click on
      Intel HD Graphics Display Driver.
    • Click on Uninstall and check the box
      Delete the driver software for this device.

    • With the external monitor connected, reboot the machine.
    • Once the machine boots into the desktop, disconnect the external monitor and check if the issue persists.


    Hope it helps.

    Regards,
