When I lock my Windows 7 Pro 64bit desktop and then unlock it after the screen saver has activated I find that all of the windows that were on monitor 2 (right side) have moved to the lower right of monitor 1 (left side). Also all of the windows on monitor 1 have moved to the lower right as well. I have tried various adds and removes of the monitors with no luck.
Windows 10 as well. – johntrepreneur – 2017-01-24T19:24:53.167
1How are the monitors connected? What is the video adapter in use? This isn't normal behavior for standard digital connections, and it sounds like when that happens one of the outputs is actually getting disabled in software. Or possibly it's going to sleep and the output one adapter is on wakes up faster than the other (so it rearranges the windows in the meantime) – Shinrai – 2012-04-06T21:03:05.920
1The graphics card reports as an Intel Q45/Q43 Express Chipset. 1 display is DVI and 1 display is VGA. There are 3 ports on the card, once I have the cable I will try the display port. DVI is running 1920x1200 VGA is running 1280x1024 – Andy – 2012-04-09T15:06:37.933
This is happening to me as well, did you fix it? – jcollum – 2012-08-10T20:37:36.653
+1 same problem here. I have an NVIDIA Quadro NVS 420 GPU, which is probably the problem. This card is designed to support up to four displays with a dongle. My two displays are currently hooked up to ports 1 and 2, which are on separate dongles. I suspect moving them around could help. – Elliott – 2013-06-05T19:51:40.523
