Windows 10: Video/Monitor Settings

I have an Intel NUC, provided to my by my work, that is connected to a Sonnet eGFX Breakaway Box via Thunderbolt. The breakaway box has an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB GPU installed. This is connected to an Acer SA230 1080p monitor via HDMI.


I am just setting this system up to be my work computer, and in doing so I have applied every update for Windows and NVIDIA I can find.


The problem I am having is when I unplug the HDMI from the NUC and plug it into the breakaway box the desktop screen is acting like it is a second monitor. Any running apps, with open windows, are off the screen and I can not get to them. I can see them running in the Taskbar. If I launch a new app it will open, but will be off the screen. I can not interact with any apps. Also, if I plug the HDMI into the breakaway box, with everything powered down, then power on the system the monitor is not recognized and nothing appears on the screen. Very occasionally if I unplug the HDMI and plug it into the breakaway box the desktop will show up properly. This will work until I need to restart then I am back to square one.


Any help will be appreciated.

Night Light Setting and Third Monitor.

Hi Reagan,

We would like to ask you some questions in order assist you properly:

• Did Night light work previously on all three monitors?
• Have you made any recent changes to your PC?
• Are you getting an error message on the third monitor regarding Night light?
• Is the third monitor being detected by your PC?
• What troubleshooting steps have you performed so far?

While waiting for your response, we suggest that you try to connect your third monitor to what you are using on the 2 working monitors to see if it is only a loose connection issue.

Regards.
