Windows sleep mode display problem

Question

Hi, I have a problem with the way display works after wakeup. I have 2 connected monitors, 1 with DisplayPort and 1 with hdmi (it's vga to hdmi). After wake up from sleep mode every window from second monitor jumps to the first one. Is there any way to fix this?

Hi and thanks for reaching out. My name is Bernard a Windows fan like you. I'll be happy to help you out today.

This problem actually occurs when there is a problem with your power options, kindly follow the steps below and I hope this helps.

Method 1. Restore default power options

-Press Windows key + R then type:

powercfg -restoredefaultschemes

-Restart PC and check.

Method 2. Run power Troubleshooter

• Press Windows key + R then type:

msdt.exe /id PowerDiagnostic

• Click OK then follow the prompt to run the power troubleshooter

-Restart the device after

Method 3.

Open Control Panel> Click Hardware and Sound > Click Power Options> then click Choose what the power buttons do > Click Change settings that are currently unavailable> Check Sleep (or uncheck then check it again)

Click Save Changes then restart.

Method 4. Do clean boot:

A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program.

• In the search box on the taskbar, type MSConfig and select System Configuration from the results.
• On the Services tab of System Configuration, select Hide all Microsoft services, and then select Disable all.
• On the Startup tab of System Configuration, select Open Task Manager.
• Under Startup in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then select Disable.
• Close Task Manager.
• On the Startup tab of System Configuration, select OK. When you restart the computer, it's in a clean boot environment.
