Windows 10: Window size on Ultrawide monitor

I just bought a 49" Ultrawide Monitor which is connected to a standard Dell tower. It works well, I am able to lay out my windows however I want. My issue is, every time the screen turns off or the computer goes to sleep, when I come back all the windows are full screen, so I have to lay them all out again in their correct places.

Two monitors connected but they show as one ultrawide

Hi Safra N,

Thank you for reaching Microsoft Community. We appreciate for sharing your concern to us.

I am aware that you are having issues using a dock to connect your Surface laptop to two external monitors. I am here to help and let us work on this together. Allow me to ask some question.

• What kind of dock did you use to connect with your Surface laptop?
  
• What is the make and model of the external monitor?
  
• What version of Windows are you currently running?
  

To separate the monitor from the ultrawide display, kindly try the following steps below.

1. On your desktop, select Display settings by doing a right-click.
   
2. Click on Detect after swiping down to the Multiple displays section.
   
3. Click the second monitor once Windows has identified it, then choose "Disconnect this display" from the Multiple displays drop-down box.
   

This should detach the monitor from the ultrawide display.

For other troubleshooting guide, follow the solution provided from this article Troubleshoot connecting Surface to an external display - Microsoft Support.

Kind regards,

Lavenia

 

Dual monitor or ultrawide?

Hey guys. I am stuck between decisions. I plan on getting the GTX 1180 16gb (planning ahead) and I do alot of gaming. While I do like ultrawide but I don't want to compromise frame rates. I would like to use obs or xsplit for streaming games for fun. Thing is, I would like to do 1440p gaming. I just got myself 8700k with 16gb 3200mhz trident z rgb ram. I have my system oc to 5.0ghz.

So the real concern is, which is more preferably reasonable? A 3440x1440p g sync monitor or 2x 1440p monitors (1x g sync tn for gaming and 1x ips for obs or xsplit and viewing comments). I can always view the comments on my phone so I don't care about viewing just comments on a separate monitor.

And if I do go dual monitor, do I have to get both of the same monitors and samw resolution? Suggestions? Tips?

Thanks again!

Ps- I have windows for gaming and Ubuntu for productivity.

 

Can't select 2560x1080 resolution for ultrawide monitor with Windows 10 1909 Update

OK. I connected my new LG Ultrawide monitor and still have the same problem, I can only get a max of 1920x1080 resolution. I decided to do the Windows 10 update 1909. After the update, I decided to uninstall the Intel UHD 630 driver, then reboot. When
the computer started back up, the resolution was 2560x1080, perfect; however, even though it was the right resolution, on the display settings, the resolution was grayed out. Within about a minute of the reboot (all the time, the computer wheel is spinning),
the monitor blinked and it was put back to 1920x1080! I think what was happening was the graphics driver was being reinstalled. Anyone have any suggestions on what my next step should be? All your help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
