Windows 10: Notepad- windows are getting smaller every time I open them on my secondary monitor

When I close and re-open a notepad window on my secondary monitory, it gets smaller every time.

My secondary monitor has 125% scaling and vertical alignment. And my main monitor is a 4K monitor.

I already re-installed windows and even used a different monitor, and even tried horizontal alignment. But the issue persists on my secondary monitor.


Did anyone else notice this behaviour? Is that a bug with Windows 10 or with Notepad?

desktop - Notepad window openx when Windows 10 is stated?

Hi John,

To help resolve the issue regarding the opening of notepad during startup, we suggest that you open the startup items and check if it's added.

Follow these steps:

• Press Windows + X.
• Select Task Manager.
• If this is the first time you opened Task Manager, you'll get a compact list of running apps. Just select
  More details to open the full view.
• Once the full view is opened, click Startup tab.
• If Notepad is listed, right-click on
  Notepad then select disable.

Let us know the result.

Unable to interact with the content on the secondary monitor

I have three monitors plugged into a evga GTX 1060 ACX 2.0, the system is running latest Windows 10 pro.

Every night I put the computer to sleep. Occasionally, and more frequently the past week, I wake the computer in the morning to find very strange behavior:

• Whatever monitor is my main display works perfectly
• Secondary monitors turn on and show the last content they had (any open browsers, programs, etc)
• I can move my mouse into the secondary screens and see it moving around just fine
• When I click or do any kind of interaction on those screen, the visuals do not update (again, mouse around moving is fine)
  • Click a window, the window focus never shows; scroll or press a button on a website, doesn't show any changes; click the Windows button, menu doesn't open
• However, I can still interact with the screens despite not being able to see what I'm changing
  • Drag a window off the screen and it magically appears on the main display; press the 1-Click buy on an Amazon item, receive it 2-5 business days later
• Changing the main display changes the screen I can interact with
• Mucking with the resolution of the secondary monitors does not fix the issue but it does update their visuals
• Display driver details:
  • Date: 2018-11-12
  • Version: 25.21.14.1694
• I am in the process of downloading NVidia 2019 drivers to see if that helps

The only fix I've found so far (with my limited experience debugging display issues) is restarting the computer. Help!
