Datafizz and others, No more dragging your apps back
Microsoft is finally fixing Windows 10 rearranging apps on multiple monitors
https://www.theverge.com/2021/4/28/2...fix-directx-12 If you’re a Windows user and you use multiple monitors, you’ve probably experienced the headache of apps randomly rearranging when you resume from sleep. There have been a variety of ways to work around this over the years, but Microsoft is finally addressing it and fixing it in a future Windows 10 update. “The technical terminology we use to describe this problem is known as Rapid Hot Plug Detect (Rapid HPD),” explains Michelle Xiong, a program manager on the graphics team at Microsoft. “This behavior impacts DisplayPort multi-monitor setups which results in unwanted desktop rearrangements.” This problem is particularly troublesome if you’re using a laptop with a secondary screen or an additional monitor goes into deep sleep and Windows thinks it has been unplugged. Windows will then go ahead and move all of your apps onto another screen, and you have to drag them all back manually. It’s a giant headache if you experience the issue daily. Microsoft has been working on preventing Rapid HPD from rearranging Windows apps, and a fix is coming in the big Windows 10 update that’s due later this year. Windows Insiders can currently get access to this with build 21287 or above, but it does mean running a beta version of the OS on a device. Microsoft is expected to ship this final update in October, but if you can’t wait then you can go ahead and try it right now. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pr..._QmxpUQejNwPLc https://cdn.guidingtech.com/imager/a...jpg?1521730502 |
I don't let my computer go to sleep. I've never experienced this issue. I just turn the monitors off at night and everything is where it belongs the next morning. :seasix:

At my previous employer it would randomly do that.
Never could pinpoint what was causing it. Haven't had the issue for a year and a half here, and kind of forgot about it. It was f'king annoying. |
You use your computer for work?!
:faint: |
I have 3 34" monitors, this has never happened to me.

I solved the problem a decade and a half ago by switching to Mac. :yesnod:

At lunch time, myself and one of the other subcontractors went to the Apple store a mile away. Found a higher end demo laptop, opened a browser and typed in the URL to the database. In just a few seconds, I was up and running, connected to the prime's database. So, I bought a new, $3500, Apple laptop that day. Got back to the client site, opened up the box, set up the machine and went back to work. :yesnod: The next day, that other subcontractor bought himself a new Apple laptop too. :yesnod: |
Well, isn't that special

At the very least I would have made myself a USB thumb drive that booted up in Linux and worked around the problem for free. :D |

I suppose if I was a whiny little bitch I could have complained to that idiot's manager, or the client engagement manager and got the little shit fired... But would have taken days of lost productivity. |

Maybe I look at things too simple. It would seem an easy fix by just saving user screen settings in a file and allowing them to revert back to the prior screen settings in the registry. I imagine some programmers wrote their own routine to fix it.
As for Oracle, I feel Snides pain. It seemed I was always having to tweak the client software to access the Oracle databases I seldom worked with. Some vendors only used Oracle databases, so I was stuck trying to find the setting that changed after the last upgrade. I had no problems with Intersystems Cache, MSSQL and other databases. |
