Windows 10: After a recent Windows 10 update every time my monitors turn off I'm logged out

Every time my monitors go to sleep my computer returns to the lock screen. This didn't happen before the most recent update. I run several services in the background that need 24/7 remote access so I don't want the computer logging me out. I also don't want to burn out my monitors by leaving them running when they are not in use. These are the things I've tried so far.1. Dynamic lock is off2. Screen saver is off a. I also tried turning the screen saver on and turning off lock screen to see if that worked. It did not.3. Lock screen when monitor wakes is offAny help would be appreciated.Than

Windows 10 KB3213986 Update Cripples Multi-monitor Gaming

The recent Cumulative Update for Windows 10 (KB3213986) cripples multi-monitor gaming, looking at the way Microsoft worded its "known issues" text. After the update is applied, users with multi-monitor setups could experience screen stuttering or clipped screens when running 3D apps on machines with more than one monitor. The only workaround Microsoft suggests for now entails running your 3D apps in non-fullscreen modes, such as windowed-maximized (pseudo-fullscreen) or windowed modes. Microsoft also goes as far as to suggest that people with multi-monitors could try starting their 3D apps with just one monitor connected.

"Users may experience delayed or clipped screens while running 3D rendering apps (such as games) on systems with more than one monitor," the change-log for the KB3213986 update reads. "To work around this issue please consider the following options: 1. Running the application in Windows mode (not full screen), or 2. Starting the application with only one monitor connected," it adds. The update effectively cripples multi-monitor gaming, using technologies such as AMD Eyefinity or NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround.

Windows 10 updates disable monitor

Hi Linda#Jefferson,

Welcome to Microsoft community.

According to your description, the monitor could not be turned on after Windows 10 update.

First, I recommend that you connect to another monitor to check if the hardware is causing the problem.

You mentioned that your monitor is currently stuck in power-saving mode, you can try the following steps to see if you can access the safe mode.

1. Hold down the power button for 10 seconds to turn off your device.
   
2. Press the power button again to turn on your device.
   
3. On the first sign that Windows has started (for example, some devices show the manufacturer’s logo when restarting) hold down the power button for 10 seconds to turn off your device.
   
4. Press the power button again to turn on your device.
   
5. When Windows restarts, hold down the power button for 10 seconds to turn off your device.
   
6. Press the power button again to turn on your device.
   
7. Allow your device to fully restart. You will enter winRE.
   
8. On the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings > Restart.
   
9. After your device restarts, you'll see a list of options. Select option 5 from the list or press F5 for Safe Mode with Networking.

• If you can successfully access the system according to the above steps.
  

1. I recommend you first turn off the power-saving mode according to the following steps: Right mouse click on desktop > Personalization > Lock screen interface > Screen saver settings > Change power settings > Select the time to turn off the monitor > Set the time to turn off the monitor and the time for the computer to go into hibernation to Never > OK.
   
2. You can also try uninstalling the Windows update according to the following steps: Click Windows icon > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > View Update History > Uninstall Updates > Uninstall recent updates in the page
   
3. Usually, the driver will also cause the monitor to not work properly, so we recommend that you download the corresponding driver from the official website of your monitor manufacturer.
   

• If you can not access the system according to the above steps.
  
  I suggest you try to Go back to the previous version in the safe mode according to the following steps: On the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Go back to the previous version.
  

Please feel free to tell me progress.

Best regards

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
