I have a three monitor setup.
My monitors are as follows:
Asus Tuf Gaming VG series on DP set as the main monitor
NEC EA244WMi on DP set as #2
Samsung SyncMaster on HDMI set as #3
I have Windows set up to turn off the monitors after 20 minutes of inactivity, but never to sleep.
So the problem is that the main monitor - Asus Tuf Gaming on Display Port - takes a bit longer to come on after having been shut down than the other two.
So all the apps that were open on the main screen move to the 2nd one.
Is there any way - other than physically shutting off the two secondary monitors before leaving the PC - to prevent this from happening?
I read something about editing the registry. If that works, I am comfortable with it, as I have worked with the registry before.
I suppose I could just prevent Windows from shutting down the monitors, and hitting the power buttons on each one myself; making sure that I turn off the main screen last, and power it back on first, but that is a bit of a pain, since I don't always know when I will walk away from my screens.
Thanks for your help
