Windows 10 Dual Monitors: Resolution Switches on Monitor Wake-up

[chrisko]

Hello all,

First, my setup:
1 x 4k Monitor (Primary)
1 x 1440p Monitor
EVGA 980ti SC+

Whenever my monitors sleep and I have to log back in, my 4k resolution which is my primary, defaults to the 1440p resolution. When I go to try and adjust it back, it lists that 1440p is the highest configurable resolution (both through NVIDIA control panel and windows). The temp. fix? I turn the 4k monitor off through the power button and then turn it back on, voila. Correct resolution.

What's up?! This didn't happen with Windows 7, it's such a peculiar problem I don't even know where to begin trying to figure it out. I was also running into a lot of issues setting the scaling for the 4k to 125% but keeping the 1440p at 100%. They would change back and forth randomly fro 200% to 100% if two monitors weren't consistent -_-.

Thanks for your help!

If this did not happen with Windows 7 and only started after the upgrade, you may be having compatibility issues with drivers carried over from Windows 7. Use Display Driver Uninstaller to completely remove all traces of your old drivers:
