I had no issues.

I did a nividia drivers update.

Now, sometimes when I restart, my second monitor is limited to a lower resolution.

If I switch cables back and forth with my projector, eventually it lets me set it to 1920x1080 again.

Why is the cable switching fixing this?
How would a nividia drivers update even create this issue?
 
Solution
Unless you are having issues that are specifically addressed by an update there is never a reason to update. Go back to the previous working version and stay there.

I wanted to add that yesterday, I had switch cables from a display port out of my 2080 to the monitor hdmi port with the hdmi to hdmi from 2080 to my projector.
"Fixed" the issue temporarily.

Today, no issue when I started my computer.
Did a restart, and had a resolution issue.
Swapped the cables back...and that "fixed it".

I do not understand why or how this is happening. To me, the pins and hardware are not changing. I do not understand why in any case the monitor would get a lower resolution with either cable, let alone both of them at different times.
