That said, Nvidia Shadowplay for some reason keeps recording my right screen (the incorrect primary screen) even if I have a game open. it does switch to the middle screen as the primary when the computer reaches Windows. However currently it's booting on my right screen. so as it was booting or if I loaded BIOS it would appear on my middle screen and I would have to set the primary display to be the middle screen in either Nvidia Control Panel or within Settings > System > Display. I used to boot up my computer and it would always boot showing the middle screen as the primary display.
Every new process that shows up, shows up in #1 until I drag-n-drop it over to my #2.I recently upgraded my computer and replaced it's motherboard, RAM, CPU, case and re-installed Windows on a new NVMe drive, however my graphics card & monitors stayed the same. But it ALWAYS opens up in the #1 Display, even if I have #2 set as my Primary (aka desktop) display. Extension associations call for Win10 to open up my VLC Media player, and begin playing this file. Example: I want to watch a video, and double click on the xyz.mp4. Resolution isn't a concern as the info that is bothersome to me are the default dialog boxes that Win10 produces, both for it's own use and to frame programs that are started up.
Good luck bud Thanks for the alternate suggestion, but I'm afraid this isn't a help to me. If this isnt anygood then either way hopefully it gives you a few more ideas to have a bash at I could be wrong here but i dont think this resolution will go anything above 1024x768, maybe 1280x720 Then your DP should (cough cough) work as main or priority. The best aim is to change this default resolution and make it faster than the display which you need to work on. One of its main default display resolutions is way below par and runs at a mere 640x480 and even less in other motherboards. Within each codec are certain video and audio capture settings and one of these is directly comparitive to this unmanageable display setting. If you can, go into there and you will be able to view a set or bunch of pre installed audio and video codecs. In device manager there is hopefully on your system, near the bottom, is 'Sounds, video and game controllers'
It is clearly slower than the DP display and then of course, the PC will always make the slowest connection the default initial. I think (crunch) the reason for the data which you need visible to you, is going to the other display, is because of its default resolution. until their opening default is changed, will open up in the other display, the Main one.Īnd below, is asterisked as my primary display. HOWEVER, all new dialog boxes, programs starting up, etc. I have that selected as my Primary Display, so it shows my desktop, tool bar etc. When I currently hit Display ID, my desktop computer monitor shows #2. "Main" is where dialog boxes default to open (until they have been opened, manually moved over to the other display, then closed - thereby changing their "open-next-time-in-window #x" setting. "Primary" (Aka #1) is where your desktop is located.
In Windows 10 (or 7), these terms (as taken off the Windows settings dialogs), are NOT the same. I am trying to select which display device is "Main". I am NOT trying to select which display device is "Primary" (IE: #1 of 2). This is a very difficult problem to describe. THEN just right click the monitor you want to be Primary and choose: Make Primary Choose set up multiple displays, and check both boxes, click Apply and answer YES. I need my DP connected "Monitor" to be the #1.
Then I added a TV via HDMI, and my graphics card automatically set the system up with two monitors, (so far, so good), but then I see it designated the TV as the Primary (#1) display. More details: I have my desktop monitor connected via DisplayPort, and it works fine. When a new dialog box is opened, when a new program starts, when the Settings menus open up, they all open up on the primary (#1) display, which it has set as my TV. My problem is that the system auto-designated my TV as #1, leaving my desktop monitor #2.
I understand Settings / Display / Rearrange your Display in how to swap #1 and #2, with regard to the two desktops, and how to re-arrange them left to right etc for border management. How can I swap which physical display is designated the Main Display?
