1433892 2017-04-07 05:49:00 weird bug in Win10 , anyone seen it or know of a fix ?

Brand new Win10 PC .
Dual monitors , 1st monitor is MAIN DISPLAY . Desktop icons on Monitor1
Occasionly if 2nd monitor turned off, then desktop icons on the 1st monitor dissapear completely (possibly after monitor power save)

If I turn on 2nd monitor , then desktop icons magicly reappear , either on 1st or 2nd monitor (randomly either one)

Just strange , not sure whats happening here. :badpc:
Any idea's ?

1433895 2017-04-07 09:10:00 Been doing some reading on this. personally never had any problems with Dual Monitors.

Seems it happens more on AMD ( no surprise there) but some of the symptoms sound a lot like the Monitor detection problem thats been around since W7.


See if this makes any difference ( back up /restore point first of course) -- Open regedit:



Follow the below steps and check if you can disable Automatic Monitor Detection.

Navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\TMM

Look for the value "UseIViewHelper" and change it to 0 or if you don't have that key then simply right click in the TMM sub key and create a new DWORD giving it the name UseIViewHelper then set its value to 0

Note: To re-enable Automatic Monitor Detection, simply go back to the same reg key and change the value of "UseIViewHelper" to 1

The Display Driver software may also have the options to disable it.
