I use my laptop in a dock with two monitors at work and at home use the laptop screen with a second monitor. It's been working fine for some time now. Out of nowhere it has moved all my icons to the second (right) screen when the left was always the primary screen. The monitors are still in the correct order, #1 is the left and #2 is the right and they are considered extended so you can just drag across them. I moved all the icons back over to the left screen but they were back on the right when I booted up again. WTF Don't weep for the stupid, or you will be crying all day | ||

Did the other monitor become Primary? "I'm yet another resource-consuming kid in an overpopulated planet raised to an alarming extent by Hollywood and Madison Avenue, poised with my cynical and alienated peers to take over the world when you're old and weak!" - Calvin, "Calvin & Hobbes" | |||

Right mouse click the background, either screen Select Display Settings from drop down Should get a Display box up, click identify, see which screen is 1 and 2. You can change them by sliding one to the other side of the other | |||

If it's like my machine, it will switch back at some point. Seems to happen after software upgrades and I've just gotten use to them moving. Speak softly and carry a | |||

It’s a warning. Start behaving yourself or they’ll move to someone else’s monitor. Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity DISCLAIMER: These are the author's own personal views and do not represent the views of the author's employer. | |||

I understand it is a side effect of the software that people use to video you masturbating. | |||

I've seen that happen on W10 rigs. Seems to be an unaddressed problem, primary swaps with secondary. It can be fixed by turning the secondary off, rebooting, and setting up the primary again (icons should automatically appear there), and removing the secondary monitor (you may have to unplug the monitor cable for a moment), then turn on the secondary and add it back.
