Does Windows remember HDMI devices?
Plug my large widescreen TV into my graphics card (hdmi connection) to use it as a 3rd monitor used to work just fine - after appropriate adjustment in ControlPanel/Displays.
Now everytime I plug my large widescreen TV in - all manner of odd effects take place. Some are - it alters the multiple dropdown choice to show desktop only on 2 and that of course blanks one of my 2 normally connected monitors. It pinches desktop icons from monitor 2 when it is monitor 1. All very weird.
BUT - when I plug in my small widescreen TV into the same HDMI socket on my GPU all works as expected. It waits for me to extend the desktop to include it and all works as expected.
The problem with my large widescreen TV manifests itself whether the connection is made to HDMI3 (legend next to socket) or HDMI2. No I have not tried HDMI1 because at this stage I am going bald (or maybe that should be balder).
The 2 TV's show as different names on Windows so there must be some feedback TV>PC and I am left to conclude that Windows is functioning different when it sees my large TV. Maybe a corrupt device profile if such a thing exists I don't know. If one does - can it be deleted or reset?
Help!!!
