So I have just installed my secondary monitor simply to multi task as I play games on my primary one. Everything was going well until I did something stupid I wanted to switch it and make my games come on my secondary and browse on my primary. When I did that I didn't like it so I undid it. When I did that I launched a game from steam and I looked over at my screen and half of it is taken up my my primary screen.
So say I had chrome open I put it to the far left of my primary screen where the game pops up I launch a game and half of chrome is on my secondary monitor and I didn't put it there. Sorry not the best explanation but it's the best I got at almost 1am any help Plz I need to know soon thx.

Tell us, how did you make your game show up on the secondary monitor ?

If you drag chrome to either monitor, that`s where it should stay.

Turn off the pc.

Unplug the secondary monitor, re boot windows. All should be fine now.

Run your game, open your browser etc. see if things are fine.

Turn off the pc, re connect the second monitor.

Restart the pc, all should be fine now.

No sorry I know about that and that doesn't work here is another before and after pictures though (in the middle of taking the picture I realize I haven't tried a different game. So I did ,the third picture, and it does the same thing but not as bad. Tried a different game, fourth picture, and it didn't do it at all??)

I think it`s totally normal, my second monitor always goes nuts when I play a game.

But I can put Precision X and my Thermaltake software over there before gaming and it remains fine.

Just close the browser before gaming.

:/ you think so? It might just be the game it's self like I said last night how much the screen cuts off differs from game to game
Ex: five nights at Freddy's 3= half screen
Ex2: cs go= 1/8 of the screen
Ex3:dragon ball xenoverse=no effect
