Strange issue; monitor cable switching every bootup

[RespectfulDad]

I have a very strange issue that I can't seem to find an answer to. I have a GTX 980 and run two monitors, one through DVI (my main monitor) and the other through a DVI adapter to VGA (monitor only has VGA and no VGA output on the 980). Whenever I boot my computer, there is no display on my main monitor, and my second monitor ONLY runs at 800x600, though the native res is 1600x900. What I find my self having to do every time is shut it off, switch the cables from that to my main, then restart and switch the cables back. I've tried only booting with the DVI in, but there is no display. I'm at a loss and it's very frustrating having to do this every morning. Does anyone have a possible solution to this?

what does windows display properties or amd catalyst control center say is your main display & secondary display?

It says my second monitor is the main display, which I then change, but it never saves it upon restart.

In Windows and in the Nvidia control panel

Anyone have any advice on this? Bit lost as to why this is happening. Seems like it doesn't recognize DVI until I start it up with VGA and detect it through the control panel(s).

Just trying to bump this if anyone has any help at all. I am extremely frustrated with having to switch cables around every time I start my computer.

Sorry if I'm bumping this too much or something, but I'm really lost and it seems like having to swap cables around and do multiple restarts every time I start my computer is unnecessary and potentially fixable. If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.
