    After dual monitor sleep recovery, all apps shift to one monitor


    Whenever my computer recovers from sleep mode, or when the screensaver comes on and I wake it up, I find that all my apps are now on my main monitor.

    Example: Google Chrome and Skype on Monitor 1.
    Microsoft Word and MSI Afterburner on Monitor 2.

    -computer sleeps/ screen saver turns on-
    -I wake the computer up-

    Google Chrome, Skype, Microsoft Word, and MSI Afterburner are on Monitor 1.
    Nothing on Monitor 2.

    Is it possible to fix this?

    Specs
    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
    Using DisplayFusion Pro v5.0.1 to extend my taskbar to the second monitor.

    GPU: r9 290
    CPU: i5 4670k @ 4.2 Ghz
    Mobo: ASUS z87 sabertooth TUF series
    PSU: Corsair TX-CMPSU 650W

    I've had dual monitors for years now and have never had this problem. But I also have no screen saver.

    If you put your system to sleep why would you want a screen saver? All that does is keep the system active and running - which is the opposite of what sleep does.

    Remove the scree saver and see what happens.

    I've done a couple of things

    I've removed the screen saver like you've suggested.
    I reactivated my windows operating system.

    The problem is fixed.
