I've got a desktop computer with an Nvidia graphics card as listed below. When the computer comes out of sleep, sometimes one monitor does not come up, sometimes multiple (I have three total monitors, two 4K and one 1280x720). Power cycling the monitors usually brings the computer to all monitors working again.

The password prompt also seems to get in the way. Is there a way to turn password prompting off when the computer comes out of sleep? (The computer is in a secure environment.)

  • Update to Version 1607 – Ramhound Sep 19 '16 at 22:34
  • I have a laptop running W10 where after hibernation the display often does not come up. I found that after making it sleep the display always comes back. I configured the lid for sleep/wake, so it's easy to do without needing the keyboard: you can probably configure a short press on the power button to invoke sleep and any key to wake. It's a pain, but I've learned to live with it. – AFH Sep 19 '16 at 23:17
  • Thanks @Ramhound I don't think the trigger is the problem. I can 99% of the time cause a change by moving my mouse or k/b and one of the monitors comes back up, just not all of them (and sometimes, none of them but I can see the computer red light getting busy so I know some interrupt has been fired) – Peter Kellner Sep 19 '16 at 23:47
  • @Ramhound update what to 1607? – Peter Kellner Sep 19 '16 at 23:48
  • Your out of date installation of a Windows 10 – Ramhound Sep 19 '16 at 23:51
