  1. Secondary monitor stops working after every restart


    Hello experts. Please help me out.

    I have latest Win10 updates and latest Nvidia driver 461.09.

    I have Gforce GTX 650 on Windows 10 Pro N 64bit.

    My second monitor only works when I reinstall the gforce driver. Once I shutdown or reboot It stops working.

    I can see the second "analog monitor" in the nvidia control panel but don't see it in widows anywhere.

    But I am not able to make it work in the nvidia control panel.

    Please help!

    Thank you

    Marian

    :)

  2. Setting Up A Older Secondary Monitor

    ok decided to reopen in the hopes someone might have a solution for a new issues i noticed. when i do a restart the secondary monitor takes over, and not until windows is about to go to the desktop does the secondary monitor turn off and the primary display turn on. i would think there is some way to make the default monitor stay on during a reboot. any suggestion would be great. thanks

  3. 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!

    ***Modified title from: Secondary display content is frozen, can still see mouse and "interact" with frozen windows***
