The bezels are minimal on the top and sides, with the display drivers mostly located on the back of the panel on a separate pcb. The only workaround I can find right now is to change the power plan to not turn off the monitors for 5 hours.But suggested app acer gaming monitor drivers are amongst the product! Uploaded on, a law enforcement or acer firmware drivers? Get weekly tips straight from the experts. Please let me know if you need more info. I would far rather have this work correctly (not resize windows or move icons) for the vast majority of cases where my monitor comes back a few ms behind the laptop, and have to deal with the windows being oversized in the very rare case that my monitor doesn't come back and the windows in fact are displayed on the laptop.
Given that this doesn't happen with one (older) Dell monitor, but does with a new one (and with a bunch of other manufacturers from the volume of threads about this on the web), it seems like either the HDMI presence behavior or timing varies.īut, the driver (or OS) should handle this. I've seen speculation that the laptop on resume doesn't initially see a signal that the external monitor is present, so it resizes everything for the laptop display, but then moves the windows back when it gets a presence signal from the external monitor. When system wakes, windows that were on the external monitor will still be on that monitor, but all dimensions will have been shrunk to at most the max x and max y dimensions of the laptop display. Wait for displays to be turned off, then wait ~ 5 minutes (for external monitor to fully sleep).
Have at least one that is almost the full size of the monitor, one that is almost full height but narrow, one that is almost full width but short, one that is short and narrow (for this, short and narrow mean it fits on the laptop display, i.e., < 1366, < 768, or both). To reproduce, set power options to turn off the display in a short time (1 - 5 minutes), open some windows on the monitor. Both use a HDMI to HDMI cable to a Dell Inspiron 15R laptop running Windows 10.īoth monitors are set (using the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel utility) to 1920x1080, the laptop display is set to 1366x768. The new monitor replaced a Dell S2440L, which did not have this issue. I just got a Dell P2717H monitor, and started seeing this issue (windows resize after sleep, and desktop icons are rearranged). More info that may help reproduce and debug this. Please help - this is making me crazy, is a sinkhole for time, and forcing the display to remain awake is not especially power-efficient. Why this is interesting is Intel's HD Graphics Control Panel reports (correctly) that the selected display is a "Digital Display LG Ultrawide". I just tried to re-install LG's monitor driver (which claimed success) and rebooted, but the monitor still shows up as Generic PnP Monitor. This is interesting because, while running just Windows 10, it properly showed up here as an LG 34UC97. In addition, under Advanced Display Settings -> Display Adapter Properties -> Monitor, my monitor shows up as "Generic PnP Monitor".

Installed latest Intel graphics driver (15.) and problem returned! I did notice that, post install and reboot, the Intel graphics driver pops up a calibration window that appears to set some variable to.1024X768.Problem GONE, but graphics were a bit "glitchy" - forced to install Intel Graphics driver to resolve those problems.
