Windows 10: Open windows/ applications relocate to different monitor after screen wakes

Anyone else having issues with open applications or windows relocating to a different monitor? Every time my monitors wakes up, the windows move from my primary monitor to secondary monitor. It's been a happening for years. I don't think it's my graphics driver, as it's up to date and it happens on both my desktop with a Radeon card and my Surface Book which has an Nvidia.

Anyone have a fix? I've tried searching for it on google and none of the so called 'fixes' work.

Taskbar relocating to a different monitor

Hello,

The issue is most likely with the graphics driver. Whenever a single monitor is disconnected from a multi-monitor setup in Windows, Windows will attempt to move everything from that screen onto the remaining screen(s). Usually, this will not occur when suspending/hibernating/shutting
down the computer. Thus, it is probably because of the graphics driver doing one of the following:

• Disconnecting the monitors when you put the computer to sleep, so when Windows awakens, it must re-determine where to place everything.
• Recognizing the monitors in a different order each time you bring the computer out of sleep, forcing Windows to rearrange your application windows.

Check to see if there is an update to your graphics driver by going to the chipset manufacturer's website.

Get back to us should the issue persists.

 

Open With opens with different application then the one selected

Can someone please provide the steps to fix this? This is maddening!

I just upgraded to Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 and now it doesn't even show up in the list of Open With applications.

I don't want Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 to be the default application to open image files as I use numerous different applications to work on my images. I just want it to be an option in the Open With list.

How do I get Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 to show up in the list of Open With applications and how do I confirm that when I select it to open a file it actually opens instead of some different application.

Thanks

 

Monitor problem - not waking up

Hey guys, I have an issue with my BenQ GW2765HT where if I turn on my computer with the monitor in standby (orange light) status the monitor will not wake up. I must then unplug the monitor from the AC power and then replug it and then also restart my computer before the monitor will wake up. This issue is intermittent however and also strangely if I do a restart from Windows the monitor goes to standby for a second or two before waking back up when the POST screen appears which is normal behaviour. So it seems only if the screen is on standby for some time does it fail to wake up again.

Also the monitor will not wake up if it is powered off (although still plugged in) under the same circumstances as if it were just on standby status and also requires the AC power to be disconnected and the computer to be restarted before it wakes up.

Any suggestions? Or should I just take it back to my shop?

info; I bought it in the middle of August last year.
edit; I am using a displayport cable. I've tried a different displayport cable and also with a different computer and I have the same problem. I also tried DVI and it happened more often.
