I have a new Acer laptop. I use it wIth a large monitor, using the "extend these displays" setting, the laptop is set as primary. I reboot the laptop most days.
Some days after reboot, the "multiple monitor" setting "reverts to" "show only on 2". Now on reboot, I'm now logging in on the large monitor, not the laptop screen. This happens somedays, not every day, but several times weekly.
Si I change the setting back to "extend these displays" and here I am asking you for help.

Thanks

    Update your graphic card driver. Visit the support site of the manufacturer and download the latest driver which is compatible with your OS and graphic card.
