Windows reduced on dual #2 keep going back to the main screen when the system is locked

I have two monitors and just got a new system with Windows 8 is installed.  I have a monitor set up as Monitor 2 (just as I did before windows 8) so that nobody walks by can see it... I have confidential information open on that screen quite often - otherwise, it is reduced.  My main screen is set up for the bulk of the work that I do.

However, whenever my system is locked or falls asleep, the apps/information, I put up on the screen 2, flies back to the main screen when I unlock the system.  I never had this problem before.  I tried to maximize the apps/info to fill the screen, but it does not work: it continues to move... it means that whenever I have unlock my system, confidential information appears on the screen which can be seen by anyone who was travelling.

How can I stop this from happening?

Hi Kelleybennett,

Thanks for posting the request in Microsoft Community Forums.

It seems that even if the computer is configured in the standby mode, the second monitor stops and windows are going to another. This could be a problem with the video card drivers or pilots of the monitor. Video drivers could be arrested to answer when the computer is set to sleep.

You can try to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for the monitor and video card drivers and check.

a. press the Windows key + R

b. type devmgmt.msc and press ENTER to launch the Device Manager

c. in the search for Device Manager for the device, click with the right button on the monitor drivers and select the Uninstalloption.

d. also uninstall video card drivers

e. restart the computer and check.

  • Why Skype keep going back to the status "available"?

    I'm running a Droid 2 Turbo with OS 5.1.1 on Verizon.
    My version of Skype is 6.15.0.1162
    I am also running Skype on my LG3 tablet, with the same questions.
    As a lurker, I always want to be among the invisible ones, but if someone sends me a message, or I restart one of my devices, I'm 'outstanding' status available so that the rest of the goobers on my contact list can see me, not to.mention family members I've been dodging for years.
    I saw where this was a problem for the desktop version and has been resolved with the last update. Y at - it's going to be a resolution for the mobile version as well, or do I have to find another application that allows me to hide the families feared?

    The statutes on Skype for Android are a mess of rush. An important thing to understand, is the status of the notification icon is completely meaningless. If she says 'Active', it means in fact 'Active', it means «the last time we checked, could be Twitter.com Active»

    Anytime the Skype window is not active or the screen is off, it goes 'inactive', but is not updated the icon and it stops, check his status, so he repeats to me 'Active' even if it is not. The only way to know what your status is, really, is to open the app window - which, after a few seconds, automatically turns the status "Active". This is absurd.

    Only the desktop version offers all control or reliability at all. I recommend to uninstall on Android and use it on desktop. Use other apps reliable messaging to the people you want to communicate with Android. Ask contacts for to add you other applications is a nuisance, but it's worth in the long term. Each version of Skype for Android is less reliable and more opaque than the previous.

    Step 1: If you use Internet Explorer, I suggest you to check the number in mode - Add-ons. Start Internet Explorer in no Add-ons mode.

    While Add-ons can enhance your online experience, they can sometimes interfere or conflict with other software on your computer. Try to start Internet Explorer without Add-ons to see if the problem goes away.

    a. press the Windows key + R and then type iexplore - extoff without the quotes and press ENTER.

    If you are able to access Internet Explorer without any problem, then add-ons can cause the error.

    You try the steps to activate the modules individually determine which add-ons may be causing the problem.

    Step 2:

    (a) open Internet explorer on the desktop.

    (b) click on the Tools button, click on Manage Add-ons, and then click Enable or disable add-ons

    (c) in the list view, click Add-ons that have been used by Internet Explorer to display all add-ons.

    (d) click on the Add-ons that you want to activate, and then select activate.

    (e) repeat step 4 for each module that you want to activate.

    For reference, see the link for how to manage add-ons:

    Hi Melissa5328,

    ·         What is the operating system installed on your computer?

    ·         What is the version of Myst games, that you try to play?

    Please check for any error message or error code in the event viewer. You can check the link below: link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/What-information-appears-in-event-logs-Event-Viewer

    According to the compatibility of Windows Vista and Windows 7, the game is not compatible with both operating systems.

    This error sometimes occurs when the network connection is slow. The upgrade file can not be downloaded correctly and it times out.

    Recommend that you restart the printer, and then try again. Also try and see if other devices in the same network are hogging the bandwidth of the internet connection to the downturn.

  • MP3 player via the USB port (no matter which), it keeps coming back as the "Drive is not accessible. Access is denied. "

    Hello

    So, here are the problems I encounter, and what I did to try to fix myself.
    Whenever I try to connect my MP3 player via the USB port (no matter which), it keeps coming back as the "Drive is not accessible. Access is denied. "  This same thing happens everytime I try to put an SD card in the SD card slot.  However, despite this, I can plug my USB mouse and use it, as well as the keyboard and it records only.  I can also use the HDMI port to use my TV as a second monitor and, also, to record that.
    What I did to solve the problem, it is to restore the system to the previous times before that happened, did not.  I also went into the Device Manager and uninstalled and re installed, USB and SD card drivers.  I also tried something in the sense of taking control of the files via a right click on a folder and go to properties and then security and to the 'advanced settings', the problem with this situation is that I can't in readers at all.
    I am currently running Windows 7 (64 bit) on a laptop Lenovo, the computer itself is actually only a few months.  If someone knows something about this, please let me know.  Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    1. What is the number of brands and models of MP3 player?

    2 are logged in as an administrator on the computer?

    3. are you able to use this device on another computer (not Windows XP)? The MP3 player or SD card already worked on this computer?

    4. Once you get this error message? Do you get this error when accessing the mp3 player and SD card on Windows Explorer?
