    Windows randomly switching monitors.


    I am having an issue where seemingly randomly, my monitors are switching monitor numbers or something similar. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.Symptoms:- Games open on a different monitor than the last time they opened.- Streaming software suddenly is recording a different display than before.- Monitors sometimes show the display name of a different monitor instead of their own. i.e. 27GN7 instead of VG248- Maybe unrelated, but my desktop background also disappears randomly. This happens at different times than the main issue and will not reappear unless I restart the computer
