    Windows 10 update broke my dual monitor set up


    The last update ruined my dual monitor set up. As soon as the update had finished my second monitor stopped working completely. Restarting the computer will sometimes allow it to work for a few minutes, but the resolution is stuck between 800x600 and 1024x768. I've tried restarting, updating all drivers, deleting and reinstalling drivers and so on.

    I use windows 10 x64
    geforce 960x
    intel dz77ga-70k motherboard
    intel(r) core(tm) i5-3570k cpu @ 3.40ghz

  2. Black screen after KB4038788

    Uninstall of KB4038788 fixes a blank monitor issue for me.

    KB4038788 did not fix my issues.

    Windows 10 was working fine until Microsoft broke Windows 10 dual monitor

    support on my Dell Inspiron 530 computer (OS was upgraded from WinVista,

    to Win7, subsequently upgraded to Win10). The problem with KB4038788 seems to be a backward compatibility problem with older OEM video drivers.

    In summary (proposed solution):

    1. Microsoft broke my Dell OEM video driver support for dual monitors

    in KB4038788. A subsequent update in KB4040724 does not resolve this

    issue.

    2. Symptom: After a Sleep or Shutdown dual monitors do not work. Only the primary monitor has a display.

    3. A complete Windows Restart restores dual monitor functionality.

    4. Alternatively, (after Sleep or Shutdown resume) pressing

    Ctrl+Shift+Win+B to reload the video driver will restore the second

    monitor.

    Hopefully Microsoft will fix their video driver in an up-coming

    update. Otherwise I have committed "Ctrl+Shift+Win+B" to memory!! Windows 10 update broke my dual monitor set up :(
