Hi John/Rocky:

I am sure Microsoft is aware of the problems and will have the corrected updates soon. A week to two weeks at the most.

Just did. Sounds like your cables aren't tightened on one end or the other. OR it could be one of your display ports has a weak connection, I'd guess the HDMI. But sometimes you just leave well enough alone!

I have 6 monitors. This morning Dell informed me that there was a driver update. So I went ahead and installed it and kept working. All was fine until Brenda came down to discuss something. As she reached around to my desk for a stamp the screens all went black except the main display which moved to the lower right monitor and went to about 200% size.

I just laughed and said "There you go! You haven't lost your touch with technology!" Of course I knew what was happening restarted and all was well (luckily). Otherwise it would have been roll back driver time.

So this week I can foresee numerous calls from clients that thought they should click that update (even though they've all been told that they should never agree to install anything). I'll send a remote restart command and they will be happy with my mgt. services once more, lol.

Easy :) But it didn't work. :(

That was my first approach.  I don't know why that didn't work. There are an update installed last night I was going to uninstall that next. 

But did you read my post to Gary about the solution.  THAT was unintuitive.  I still don't know how it worked or why.  Still don't know how it was caused or why.

One step away from my go to solution - percussive maintenance.

Go into display properties and click and drag the right monitor to the left. As easy as it is unintuitive.

Dear Lists:

Last night there was, apparently, a Windows Update.  Today I found that my dual monitor extended displays were flipped. The opening Win display was on the right instead of the left. And to get the mouse from the right display to the left display I had to move it to the right off the right hand display and then it re-appeared on the left side of the left hand display.

In display settings the rearrange your displays window shows them where they were and flipping them doesn't change anything.

I can't figure out how to get them back.

Does anyone know?

Mil gracias in advance,

Rocky
