  1. Whenever I get on certain games, they go the second monitor


    Whenever i open certain games they open on my second monitor, but when i go to change the monitor, my main one isnt detected. Which is strange cause it doesnt do it with some games. This started happening right after i got a new huion tablet, the huion kamvas 22. No clue if its related, because I had another smaller huion drawing tablet before. My main monitor is a random acer 165htz monitor.Specs: Win 11RTX 3060TIRyzen 5 5600X24gb ram 2 sticksB550 Riptide phantom gaming motherboardgigabyte 550w power supply

  2. Second monitor screen resolution problem

    Hi,

    For us to properly isolate the issue with your second monitor screen resolution, we would like to know the following:


    • Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue (e.g., updates, software installation)?

    • When did the issue first begin?

    • To make sure that we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you try resetting your monitor settings, and check if the issue still persists. You may refer to your monitor on how to reset it.

    We look forward to your response.

    How to stop all the main screen icons moving to second monitor (Windows10) ?

    Hi,

    This can be a default when opening a game to maximize the functionality of having two monitors. To clarify the issue, we need additional information:

    • When you close the game, do the icons go back to the main display or does it stays on the second monitor?
    • Have you tried any troubleshooting steps?

    We'll keep an eye out on your response.

  4. Whenever I get on certain games, they go the second monitor

    Issues while installing a second monitor in Windows 10

    Really? I get a canned answer and nothing else? I posted that I had tried everything that I could find posted online. I did read the post that Andre suggested multiple times prior to posting this request for help. None of it helped.

    My computer does not recognize that there is a second monitor is plugged in. The small step of changing the settings so I can put stuff on the second monitor ISN'T the issue. I am not that dumb. in the device manager there is only the single monitor listed
    at one point there was a unknown device listed but my computer did not know if it was a monitor or a printer.

    There has to be someone out there that knows how to fix this

    Please Help
