Inspiron 5548 logs out every time I add/remove a second monitor

I have a new Dell Inspiron 5548 running Windows 8.1, and I noticed every time I change the monitor configuration the system logs me out. This happens if I connect a new monitor and change the configuration from "duplicate" to "extend" or if I connect or disconnect a monitor that I'm using as a second display. Any thoughts? Maybe a graphics card issue?
The system has Intel HD Graphics 5500 and an AMD Radeon R7 M270 card (4 GB).

Awesome!  This worked for me as well.  My steps to get this Intel driver:
1) Open Device Manager, select Display adapters, double click Intel HD Graphics 5500, go to Driver tab, click on Uninstall.  I did not click the "remove driver" option.  This operation logged me out.
2) Login.  Open Device Manager and get to Display adapters as above.  Now I saw a Microsoft basic driver instead of the Intel HD5500 driver.  Double click it.  Select the "Update Driver" button.  Select the "Search automatically..." option.  It went out and found Intel HD Graphics 5500, v10.18.14.4156, 3/3/2015 and installed it.
What's frustrating is that if you simply go to the Display adapters and select "Update Driver" for the installed (and problematic) 2014 version of HD5500 driver, it tells you it is already up to date!  If you go to Intel site directly and download and run their Intel Driver Update Utility, it also doesn't indicate that a newer HD5500 driver exists.
Such a time waste.
Oh, and that support ticket I filed last week?  Dell hasn't even assigned it yet.  Way to go Dell, thanks (not) for the assistance.

  • Firefox saves my cookies, but it keeps logging me out every time I exit the window. What do I do?

    Firefox saves my cookies, but it keeps logging me out every time I exit the window. I have "Remember Me" checked off, so I don't understand why it's doing this. Just started all of a sudden. What do I do?

    tried the above still having the same problem

  • Facebook/Safari logs me out every time I close my MacBook.

    When I close my MacBook I am signed into Facebook with the 'remember me' box clicked. However, when I reopen my MacBook, Facebook keeps asking me to log in every time. This has only started happening in the past few weeks, not a clue why it has either.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Cheers!

    I just notice that Facebook requires me to log back in from scratch as well twice during a short period. Guess it's them causing it, might just be a temporary thing.

  • Photoshop CC wont open it asks me to log in every time and when i do and it says im good to continue it just asks me to login again

    my photoshop CC will not work bridge and lightroom 5 open just fine but when i go to open photoshop it asks me to log in every time and when i do and it says im good to continue it just asks me to login again today is the first time i am experienceing this problem i have been using CC for about 2 to 3 months now need this problem fixed asap please

    Open the Desktop Application manager.  click on the little cog icon > Preferences > Account.
    If you sign out, and sign back in again, that will force the Desktop Application Manager to rescan your system and check installed Adobe apps.
    I think that the latest updates fixed the 'You have been signed out' problem.  If not the fix is a bit long winded, so try first, and if you are stuck I/we will talk you through the fix.

  • I have to WIPE iPod every time I add music to iTunes!

    Hi. I seem to have everyone's problem at once.
    I've just upgraded to an 80Gb Video iPod after filling up my old 20Gb click-wheel model, which still works as wonderfully as the day I bought it over 4 years ago. My new model is, however, driving me crazy! On first plugging it in, I got the Unknown error -48 that others have described, and was told that I couldn't sync. I updated, I restored, I synced again. Fine - the music was there even though iTunes was still telling me that I had the -48 error. However, every time I add a CD to my iTunes collection and then plug in my iPod, I find that the music is not added. What's more, I'm told that my iPod is synced with another iTunes library and that if I want to sync with this one it will erase all data and start over - this takes several hours and is totally unacceptable.
    I also get the flashing 'do not disconnect' sign permanently whenever connected, even if there's nothing being transferred.
    Weirdly, if I click on the iPod in my 'Devices' list in iTunes, I find all the menu options changed and grayed out. If I try and select, say, 'sync music' or 'sync movies' I get a message asking me if I really want to do that, since "all existing content on the iPod will be removed and replaced with the contents of your iTunes Library".
    I'm a humble Apple fan who's always used Apple and is used to intuitive devices. This experience is demoralising and I'm regretting my expensive and frustrating purchase even after 1 week. Please can someone help? Do I have to send this device back to Apple?

    At the moment there seems to be no permanent fix for error -48. The Apple fix of erasing the iPod with Disk Utility and restoring with iTunes that is mentioned in various posts appears to work for some and not others. This is the workaround I'm currently using until a reliable fix comes along. Give it a try and it may help with the secondary problems you are also experiencing.
    Set up iTunes "not" to open when you connect the iPod.
    Enable Disk Use on the iPod
    Eject the iPod and shut down iTunes
    Reconnect the iPod and open Disk Utility
    Click on your iPod in the Utility pane and choose Repair Disk which will find and fix a number of errors.
    Close Disk Utility and open iTunes and your iPod should connect and update as usual.
    Keep the settings above and each time you connect the iPod to update it run Disk Utility repair as above before opening iTunes. It's far from being a acceptable answer but until a permanent one comes along I've found that it works for me.

  • Stop email every time someone adds event to shared calendar?

    I have searched high and low for a solution to this, but can't find it anywhere. I share an iCal calendar with someone via iCloud. We both have read/write priveleges, but he created the calendar. In the "Get Info" for this calendar, I have Ignore Alerts checked. But every time he adds or modifies a calendar event, I get an email. How can I stop the emails? For some reason, the calendars I share with him don't generate emails to his inbox - obviously there's a setting that's different somewhere, but we can't figure out what it is. Can anyone help?

    as i wrote there Re: How do you stop receiving notifications about updated calendar events?:
    to NOT get email notification about updated events from a shared calendar you subscribed to you have to uncheck "events affect availability" in that calendars "info" (mac os X.7 and X.8: iCal —> calendars dropdown —> right click on the subscribed calendar —> choose "get info" from the context-menu —> uncheck "events affect availability")

  • Semi - Smart Albums - all I want is to update iPhoto every time I add a new

    after reading the iPhoto Help files descriptions of Standard and Smart - Im after Semi - Smart.
    Standard: You can also create an album by dragging a folder of photos from the Finder into an empty part of iPhoto's Source list. iPhoto creates an album with the folder's name and imports all photos contained in the folder.
    - but what iPhoto 6 wont do is automatically update itself every time I add a new pic into the source folder.
    Smart Folder: "You can make a Smart Album that contains only certain types of photos, photos with high ratings, or photos that match other criteria, including EXIF information, such as a specific shutter speed or camera model....
    iPhoto automatically modifies a Smart Album when any photo that matches the album's settings is added to or removed from your library."
    but what iPhoto 6 wont do is to simply capture the folder name as Ive named it in my source folder structure.
    So Im after:
    a. drag a folder ( for example, cars, gemstones, Klimit art) into the iPhoto source pane, it becomes a semi-smart folder in that it watches every new change I make to the source files on my computer. I add a file, iPhoto 6 adds it. I delete one, it deletes it. I mod it - you get the game here.
    Do I need to upgrade iPhoto to handle this rudimentary task ? Seems like this action would be built in - am I missing something here ?
    TIA

    will try that out, thanks for the tip.
    Who would want to have to use Automator or Applescript to make such a rudimentary function enabled within iPhoto ? I would guess 95% of Mac users never use those things. The whole point of Mac is to keep your life from having to descend into mundane technical details, thus freeing one for more time with life's higher level tasks. This should be basic from-day-one type behavior in any photo app.
    Will chime back in on how difficult it get iPhoto to auto-update itself with every new pic I add/subtract to these watched folders.

  • EVERY TIME I ADD NEW SONGS I LOSE MY OLD SONGS HOW DO I FIX THIS PROB??

    every time i add new songs to my 30g ipod all of my songs that were on there b4 get deleted. how do u put new songs on there without hav to re-add all of my old songs again??

    If the songs are still in your library, they shouldn't be deleted from the iPod every time you add new ones.
    If you are using iTunes from version 7 onwards, then when you connect the iPod the summary screen should automatically open.
    On the 'summary' page you will see the options to:
    "open iTunes when this iPod is attached".
    "only sync checked items".
    "manually manage music".
    "enable disk use". This will be automatically enabled if you have the iPod set to 'manual' and be 'greyed out'.
    If you click on the 'music' tab, you will see the options to:
    "sync music" with either "all songs and playlists" or "selected playlists".
    "display album artwork on your iPod".
    Which of those do you have selected?

    How do I configure the settings(?) to not have to log in every time I fire up a dark screen?  I'm coming off a PC.

    Open System Preferences, go to Accounts (or Users and Groups if you're on 10.7), click Login Options, change Automatic Login to the name of your account. You will have to authenticate with your password. If all the boxes are greyed out, click the padlock first to unlock the screen.

  • Logged out several times an hour

    Is it just me?
    I am being logged out several times an hour and needing multiple attempts to log back in.
    Is there some maintenance going on?
    Should I give up until tomorrow?

    John,
    Was happening to me, with greater and greater regularity. It got so bad that I would log-in, just to get a reply screen, and then have to log-in to post it, and maybe 2-3 times.
    Finally, it spiraled to the point that every forum would throw me to the main forum page, and clicking on anything there would bring up Server Not Found.
    The speed also ground to a halt.
    About 1:00 PM (PDT/AZT), things got back to normal.
    Sun spots?

  • Why does Game Center ask me to log in every time I play games online?

    I don't understand- I enter my Apple ID and password and I log in, but it asks me to log in every time?!
    Is there an option to stay logged in because this issue is really annoying me
    Thank you for your support

    I don't play games online but it's possible that this is a security feature....if you have to log in every time, then your friend can't access your device and mess with your game center account.
    My issue has been with apps that log me into game center without my consent....I don't want to be logged in, they have no option to turn it off and I'm logged in every time I open the game.
    Since your issue is with online games, I'd look in the settings for that game on the site and see if it has a 'never log out' option.

  • ITunes Makes Me Log in Every Time I Open It

    iTunes v. 12.0.1.26 and Yosemite updates recently installed. 2012 27" iMac
    iTunes makes me log in every time I open it. I thought the problem was fixed in THIS THREAD and it was a very helpful set of instructions by Linc but the problem keeps recurring.
    I reposted the question in that thread, but since the thread is marked as solved I'm afraid no one will see it. So I'm reposting here.
    Situation:
    Upon opening iTunes I get messages popping up telling me to
    Sign in to iTunes to use this computer for automatic downloads
    Sign in to iTunes for iTunes Radio to use autodowload
    Sign in to iTunes to check for downloads
    (repeat of) Sign in to iTunes to use this computer for automatic downloads
    Sign in to use iTunes Store
    These happen one after another, rapidly. Every time. I called Apple help as well and they didn't have any further help.
    I've repaired permissions, trashed my plist for iTunes from my Library, done all of Linc's instruction in the other thread.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
              Change Settings for Keychain "login"
    In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked
              Keep login keychain unlocked
    is not checked, check it.
    Select
              Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • HT5137 I made a purchase with my debit card on The Simpson Tapped out game, And now my game won't open. It just kicks me out every time I click on it. How do I fix this problem with out deleting my app?

    I made a purchase with my debit card on The Simpson Tapped out game, And now my game won't open. It just kicks me out every time I click on it. How do I fix this problem with out deleting my app?

    Personally, I would never use a debit card online, for security reasons.  If your card gets hacked its your money that is stolen.  At least with a credit card it is the card providers money that is stolen.
    Anyway,  I would delete the app and re-install.  If you paid for the app in the first place you will be able to re-install free of charge.  Also, the app should allow the in-app purchase to happen again as it should recognise that you have already purchased it previously.
    Finally, it might be that the 3G doesnt have as much ram as more recent models of iphone and you may have applications running in the background that are preventing the app to function with the in-app purchase unless you shut down any apps eating all you memory that are running in the background.  Shut-down these apps (and the simpson tap out app) by exiting to your home screen and double-tapping the home button to show what apps are running in the background.  press and hold any of the open apps until it starts shaking.  close all the apps down.  exit then re-launch the app.
    good luck.

  • HT201250 Every time I add/delete music to itunes, does time machine backup my entire library?  If so can I limit backup just to added music?

    Usimg time machine-every time I add/delete music in itunes library does time machine backup entire file? If so,an I set it up to just backup added music?

    It shouldn't be backing up the whole thing again, just the changes.
