Windows 10: Screen not displaying to monitor properly?

Monitor resolution: 1680 × 1050

Current Screen resolution: 1024 × 768


This happened after the monitor above stopped displaying *anything*, forcing me to use an old 4:3 monitor to see the screen. Then I plugged the 16:10 monitor back in and it displayed properly on that screen. Finally, I unplugged the 4:3 to go back to the 16:10, only to find the screen stretched out.


It seems to think the 16:10 monitor is the 4:3 monitor?


To fix this, I have tried unplugging the monitor from the computer and the power strip for 30 seconds. That hasn't worked.

How can I drag a screen display onto an adjoining satellite monitor?

Hi Stewart,

In order for us to assist you dragging a screen to your satellite monitor, you can follow these steps:

• Move the cursor off each of the four screen edges to see if one of them works.
  
• If it does, position the monitors in the Display > Screen Resolution window
  to match the physical placement of the monitors.

In the event that the previous steps failed to work, you can try these:

• In the display settings just swap the
  Display1 and Display2 Monitors.
• Drag the Monitor1 display icon and
  drop it on Monitor2 display icon, this would give you the correct alignment of screens.
  

Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have further inquiries.
