    Keeps resizing after sleep

    Hopefully I can explain this properly.
    I'm having an issue with video. Ever since i upgraded to a gtx 660 ti when returning from sleep the resolution seems to change.
    I keep having to "resize" the desktop slightly.
    Its fine returning from games, or anything else seems to be fine...but everytime my monitor goes into sleep and I wake it, the screen is wrong. Either it will have black bars all the way around the screen, or it will be too large for the screen.
    Its easily fixed using the resize button in the nvidia control panel, but its getting old.

    The system was freshly formatted when I upgraded.
    I've tried uninstalling drivers and re-installing using the latest versions to no avail.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    moving and resizing

    Hi Bob,

    There may be several reasons why you are unable to resize or move applications after installing an update. To better assist you with your concern, we would like you to answer the questions below:

    • Does it happen only on one application?
    • Which application are you having issues resizing or moving?

    In the meantime, we suggest you to run the Windows 10 troubleshooter. Kindly follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key +X, select
      Control panel
    • Change the view by option on the top right to
      Large icons
    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the
      view all option on the left panel
    • Run the Windows Store apps troubleshooter
    Let us know how it goes.

    Windows move and resize after sleep on duel monitor set up - Windows 10

    I have a duel monitor set up on my Windows 10 machine. When the monitors go to sleep the windows move from the right monitor to the left. I recently installed a new video card, Radeon RX 470. The drivers are up to date. This issue didn't happen on
    my old video card. I first thought it was caused when my computer goes to sleep but I changed the power settings to not sleep and discovered it is when the monitors turn off or go to sleep. I am using 2 LG Ultra HD monitors, one connected through display
    port and one through HDMI. I have to move and resize my windows several times a day. I am using the latest version of Windows with all the updates. Please help. Thank you.
