Whenever I am playing a full screen game and I alt tab out or back in, my monitor resets itself and moves anything that is on my second monitor onto my main monitor (XFA240). How do I fix this?? Please anyone, it is SO annoying.

    That's typically caused by the game doing a resolution change when running. The Alt-Tab changes you back to the Desktop resolution and the monitor has to switch to perform the change. During the switch the system sees the monitor is there - not there - there again, which causes what you are seeing. You might be able to get around it by playing the game on the other monitor or you might not...

    Yeah, I think I'm just screwed in the certain games that don't have the refresh rate option. It's mostly Destiny 2 that does it. I can play in Windowed Fullscreen and it doesn't do it. So I can make do with that. Thanks!
