Good luck !

It’s this menu, accessible through the notification. Honestly I just try each of them in order even if they don’t seem to make sense for what I’m trying to do.

I don’t remember which one works, but I know it’s not always what I expected.

Do you get the pop-up about on your phone about having plugged in a device to your phone? Have you tried a different, seemingly less preferable option?

I remember I had a phone where I had to choose an option that didn’t seem like the right one at all for my PC to see it.

Also, do you have another PC/OS installed? Just to see if you can eliminate variables.

Well okay if one tenant is renting the whole building it’s different.

For the SUM of your tenants’ rent to pay for your mortgage and most of the upkeep? Probably fair.

For ONE tenant to cover the whole mortgage? Geez, that’s not nice, to put it softly.

A book? About programming? Whoa.

For what it’s worth, it works on one of my two PCs. But yeah. Clearly not finished.

So… Many…

If I were you I’d try to change every possible Windows display option I can on every possible monitor and change them back, in each possible combination of monitors plugged in/out.

There’s a possibility there’s an option that seems like it’s set one way but it’s actually not. It happens sometimes with Windows version changes.

I think you’re mostly dealing with the consequences of DisplayPort monitors being considered disconnected entirely when off. I tried a display dummy adapter once, and it wouldn’t go above 1080p, plus it didn’t completely solve the issue.

It’s really not an easy problem to solve. Using only HDMI all the time technically works, but very few computers offer more than 1 HDMI port.

A few ideas:

• Have you tried checking or unchecking the checkbox “Remember window locations based on monitor connections”?
• maybe this is the result of Windows putting all your windows on a screen with weird settings when the main one is off. Is this a laptop whose main screen you’re not using for example? Is there anything else that could be considered a “monitor” on this machine? (Including any sort of software-based thing that would connect virtual monitors)? Maybe there IS something at a weird display resolution or scaling but it’s hard to notice what.
• Disconnect the monitor manually and reconnect it. Is the issue the same? If not, the monitor itself may be doing weird things when the system tells it to go to standby.

Edit: Ugh didn’t notice the below wasn’t an option at first

There’s a relatively easy workaround to SOME of it: disable the screen turning off after X minutes of inactivity, and replace that with a screensaver that’s a black screen.

The screen will always be “on” , even though it won’t be displaying anything, which will prevent your windows from being messed with when your PC times out due to inactivity.

But if your PC goes to sleep or you turn a monitor off, it won’t help you.

They will truly do anything not to admit the problem is cars

Universities tend to be fans of outdated software?

What exactly are you trying to get around? The question is kinda broad.

If your issue is your program behaving differently or being hard to set up depending on the OS, a common strategy is Docker.

PS: why is your employer forcing you to use old Windows that’s going to go end-of-life basically tomorrow morning? That’s odd.

Is everyone using LinkedIn instead now?

Have you looked into becoming a nurse practitioner? You sound like you might feel more fulfilled with more medical knowledge and a job in more of an expert role.

What the fuck, HTML. I kinda like it in a perverse way.

Oh I could likely see the difference. But if there’s a significant impact on battery life, I would probably be just fine with the lower resolution.

It would suck if the touchscreen option were only available with a 4K resolution because of that.

Touchscreen? Great!

UHD though? In such a small form factor, it sounds like a needless battery drain. Or are there use cases I’m missing?

Frickin’ mobile games. Got sucked into giving KonoSuba: Fantastic Days nearly an hour of my time every day for a few months. I even gave them nearly a hundred dollars. And it felt like WORK, because I didn’t want to be inefficient and miss quest rewards.

Never again.

That’s good and all but man is that person a big fan of aria properties.

To be clear, they’re not bad, but they’re a little brute-forcey. There’s often a way to achieve the same purpose without them.

For instance, instead of aria-pressed with buttons, you can just use radio buttons and labels. And your can just put heading elements in your sections instead of naming them with aria properties.
