I changed the VGA cable of my second monitor (whilst my PC was powered on) and my display went off the right edge of the monitor (so I have a black bar on the left). I used the in-built controls to move it fully left but it isn't enough. I switched the cables back and this didn't return the display to normal. It might be relevant that the cable I switched to has only 14 pins but I doubt it since the native resolution of 1440x900 is what it's set to in Windows.

OS: Win 10 Pro 64-bit
Mainboard: ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming, board revision 1.04, BIOS v1904
CPU: Intel i7 6700, Stock HSF, Undervolt Offset -0.15 V, LLC 4
RAM: Corsair LPX Vengeance 2x8GB DDR4-3000 (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15)
Graphics: Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 w/ 2 GB (second monitor attached to motherboard)
Sys Drive: Samsung Evo 750 SSD, 250 GB

I sometimes get display image shifted slightly to the right after a Windows restart, easily fixed by pressing the dedicated "Auto" button on my monitor - - no need for me to use the OSD menu for that. Glad you fixed the problem in a similar manner, but a pity you've got to use the OSD menu.
I found the problem existed also whilst in the UEFI with the CPU graphics set to primary. I accidentally triggered the automatic image adjustment in the monitor's OSD and this fixed the problem. I didn't realise that this would help because I'd already factory reset the monitor and assumed that this would include automatic image adjustment.
