Windows 10: Two extended monitors do not line up??

How can this be? I have two 2560x1440 monitors. Extended display. In the Display Settings I try to line them up and they are off vertically by about a font height? How can this be? Seriously. No SNAP to perfectly aligned? Why would I want them ALMOST correctly aligned? This has always worked before. The Snap size or whatever you call it has always been large enough that it was possible to align the monitors. Now it's so small or glitchy that I can't align the monitors.


Please fix this!!!


Windows 10.0.17134


GTX 1050 card running over display port

Two ASUS PB278Q monitors - 2560x1440 res.

black lines with 2 monitors on extended displays


This issue is almost driving me crazy!

People where I work use 2 monitors used as extended displays. All the extended displays work fine on Windows 7, but when I upgrade or redo the PC with Windows 10, black lines are on the monitor(s).
Sometimes the lines are thin and in the middle of the screen, and sometime the black lines are large from the bottom of the screen.

I’ve tried upgrading drivers & changing resolution, and the black line will change location but won’t go away.
Because the extended monitors work fine on Windows 7 it’s hard to think the hardware has a problem.

This problem happens on more than 1 model PC, but the PC I am having the issue on this one is a Dell OptiPlex 7010. The video card is the Intel card that the 7010s come with.

I have used the image I usually use, plus redo the PC from scratch with Windows 10, same problem.
If the PC uses 1 monitor no problem, but using 2 monitors whether dual or extended display the lines are there.

I know the PCs are fairly up to date with Windows 10 updates, but I do believe there are a lot of Office updates to download.

Maybe someone else is having this problem out there somewhere.

 

using a monitor to extend my screen

Hi Lou,

There are several possible reasons why your LCD monitor suddenly stopped working. It could be that the graphic driver is outdated or could be the cable used is already damaged.

For us to isolate this problem, we would like to ask the following information:

• Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue?
• Have you installed any updates?

In the meantime, please try the following suggestions and see if your laptop will detect the LCD monitor:

• Update the graphic card driver. Check out Update drivers in Windows 10 for the steps.
• Use another cable. Try using another VGA cable to connect the LCD monitor to the laptop.
• Connect the LCD monitor to another computer. To help us isolate the issue, try connecting the LCD monitor to a different computer.

Please let us know how it goes. We're looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards.
