[SOLVED] Multi Monitor Waking Up Issue

[Reaper's Ghost]

Hi.

I have 3 monitors and am having an issue where my left monitor won't wake up until my right monitor is turned on. According to the computer it is identifying my left monitor as #3 and my right as #2.

I don't remember that monitors have to wake up in a specific order, but is there a fix for that?

I remember when I moved and was re-adding the monitors I wasn't able to change the monitor numbers as if they still remembered where their previous positions were.

Any help is appreciated.

Right click an empty area of your desktop.

A window should appear with applicable control panel for your GPU.

You should be able to reestablish the desire monitor orientations.

Determine if doing so makes a difference.

If not you can use Powershell to learn more about your monitor configuration.

Open Powershell and run the following cmdlet:

Get-WmiObject win32_desktopmonitor

You can copy the preceeding line and paste it into Powershell.


============ Results should be similar to the following ===========

PS C:\Users\ XXXX\ > Get-WmiObject win32_desktopmonitor


DeviceID : DesktopMonitor1
DisplayType :
MonitorManufacturer :
Name : Default Monitor
ScreenHeight :
ScreenWidth :

DeviceID : DesktopMonitor2
DisplayType :
MonitorManufacturer : ViewSonic
Name : ViewSonic VX2452 Series
ScreenHeight : 1080
ScreenWidth : 1920

=============

Your results should list all three monitors.

Since all three monitors eventually wake up, I do not see where you have a problem.

I speculate that the graphics card will attempt to activate in the order that they are attached to the graphics card outputs.

Why turn the monitors off?
If you use sleep to ram(no hibernate) the pc and monitors will be put into a very low power state, essentially using no power.
Sleep and wake becomes a handful of seconds.

When you wake, there may be a difference in how long a monitor takes to wake up,
Not much to be done about that.
