Hello,
I'm unable to figure this out after hours of searching and trying things so I'm hoping someone here can help.
Recently my remote systems were updated to windows 10 1903 and since then every time I reconnect (hit the close button, re-establish a remote desktop session) all of my windows and task bar that I re-locate to my other monitors are all crammed back on the center monitor. I have three monitors. Note that this all worked fine before this update.
Setup:
Main computer:
Win 10 (1807, 1903 now since I upgraded thinking it was a comparability issue)
i7 8700k
nvidia 1060
Remote Computer 1:
Windows 10 (1903)
i7 4770
intel integrated graphics
Remote computer 2:
Windows 10 (1903)
xenon 14...
AMD hd 400 or something (dell)
Remote computer 3:
Windows 10 (1903)
i7 8700
intel HD 600 integrated
Things I've tried:
- I upgraded my main PC to 1903 thinking maybe if I had it on the same version it might fix it. This resulted in my third monitor not receiving signal until I unplugged all of them, powered them all down, and plugged them in sequentially. Separate issue I suppose.
- I updated the remote pc's with all the latest patches from windows. Checked graphics drivers are up to date.
- I tested remoting in from two other computers on windows 10, one with two monitors, one with three, same issue.
- I looked at the windows logs on the computers and there doesn't seem to be any error logs created by the remote connection event (like a graphics driver crash or similar)
- I ran sfc and similar to check for corruption and nothing of note came up.
Observations:
- This seems similar to what happens when you clean install a graphics driver where it bumps from one monitor low res and back.
- I am aware of the black screen issue with RDP and 1903. The fix is to use a default windows display adapter which only supports low res and one monitor so its kind of pointless to try that.
- Given the range of hardware spanning 4 generations it seems unlikely to be a "old computer, not compatible" issue.
Thanks for your time,
