    Windows 10/11 Screen/Monitor Settings Reset After Reboot, Shutdown, or Sleep


    Hi,I have a dual monitor setup, where one of them is in landscape and the other is on portrait orientation.After every reboot, shutdown, or sleep, my screen settings reset. Screen 2 becomes the main display, switches to landscape orientation, and all the adjustments I carefully set are ignored.Yes, it only takes about 20 seconds to fix, but when you're doing this 3-4 times a day, every day, it gets incredibly frustrating.This issue exists on both Windows 10 and 11, even with clean installs and fully updated systems.Here’s what I’ve tried so far:Latest GPU drivers clean installs.Using the "re

    Windows 11 Screen saver and Sleep settings

    Hey there,

    First time posting here since I couldn't really find a clear answer on what I am experiencing.

    I recently upgraded my desktop to Windows 11 and am trying to replicate my old screensaver and sleep setting from Windows 10, but it doesn't seem Windows 11 is allowing that configuration.

    Specifically, my settings in Windows 10 were:

    When plugged in, turn my screen off NEVER

    When plugged in, put my device to sleep after 20 minutes.

    The motivation behind this setting is that it would drive me nuts if my monitors went dark while I was reading, or was monitoring something on a screen without actively mousing or typing, or had just stepped away for a few minutes. Since I have multiple monitors, there's always a gap time for the monitors to load back up, which also aggravated me.

    Anyways, every time I try to set the screensaver/screens off time to be greater than the sleep time in Windows 11, it overrides the sleep setting to equal the screensaver/screens off time. It appears the settings have no issue with the screen time being less than sleep time. Under this scenario, the only way I can get my monitors to stay on provided the computer is awake is to have my computer NEVER enter sleep mode.

    Anyways, any help or assistance would be awesome.

    Many thanks
     
  3. Windows 11 Infinite Black Screen Loop After Failed Windows 10 Reset

    Hi everyone,

    I am reaching out for assistance due to a challenging issue with my Windows 11 system, which is currently stuck in an infinite loop of a black screen with spinning circles. This issue arose unexpectedly after an attempt to reset my Windows 10 system on a separate disk failed, suggesting that the reset operation inadvertently impacted my primary Windows 11 system.

    Here's a detailed breakdown of the events leading to the current problem:

    • My setup includes two hard drives: Disk A with Windows 11 (my primary system) and Disk B with Windows 10.
    • I encountered a DLL file missing error on Windows 10 (Disk B) and after unsuccessful attempts to fix it through runtime library installations and the SFC command, I decided to reset the Windows 10 system via the settings, choosing to reset only the system disk to avoid affecting other drives. Unfortunately, the reset failed.
    • Subsequently, attempting to boot into Windows 11 on Disk A resulted in a blue screen error related to the NTFS file system on the first attempt, followed by an automatic repair on the second attempt. After the repair, the system now persistently shows a black screen with spinning circles, unable to proceed to the login screen.
    Additional details and steps taken:

    • Through the Troubleshoot options, I can access CMD and open Notepad, confirming that the disks are accessible.
    • I have created a Windows installation USB drive and attempted its repair functions without success.
    • My setup involves two monitors, with the BIOS and system defaulting to monitor A, but Windows set to display only on monitor B. Post-issue, the system disconnects from monitor A and attempts to load on monitor B, indicating partial loading of Windows configurations.
    It seems the reset attempt on Windows 10 has unexpectedly affected the Windows 11 system on the other disk. Given the steps I've already taken without success, I am seeking your expert advice on how to resolve this infinite loading issue and recover access to my Windows 11 system.

    Any suggestions, guidance, or recommended steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

    Hi,
    First of all, I would really appreciate any help from you guys since this problem is frustrating me for a long time.

    Before I begin I just felt like I should apologize for the long post I just wanted to explain more
    So I thought it would be better to classify the detailed info into Quotes.

    • My Problem in short:
    My problem is that My PC won't shut down or go to sleep or hibernate after It was ON for a random time( 10min+) it can just reboot and after any reboot or any boot (after I forced the shutdown) just after it I can turn off, sleep hibernate without any problem.


    • My PC History and what I did to it before having this problem:
