    Windows not saving dual monitor settings


    Hello all. I’m using a Surface Book 2 along side a dock connected to a second monitor. My computer’s main screen display resolution is 3000x2000 with a scale of 200%. When connected to the dock it changes to 1920x1080 at 125% scale. Which is perfect for me. I played around with the settings, now whenever I connect the computer to the dock it changes the resolution to 1920x1080 but retains the 200% scale. And after manually changing the scale, I disconnect the dock and the resolution changes back to 3000x2000 but the scale remains at 125%. How to I fix it so it goes back to scaling automatically like before? Thanks for helping.
