Windows gets rearranged in Windows 8.1 and secondary monitor when computer goes to sleep

I have a MacBook Air 2013 with a secondary monitor installed through a mini-display port-HDMI cable. I also have bootcamp installed in Windows 8.1 64 bits with all the latest drivers installed. The problem that I have is that when the computer wakes after it goes to sleep, all the windows in the non-primary monitor moves to the primary monitor and I have to re-arranged them all over every time.
What I tried so far:
1. Installed the latests drivers from Microsoft and Intel HD Graphics 5000.
2. Look for the DMMEnableDDCPolling in the registry. (not found only available for ATI cards)
3. Change the mini-displayport-HDMI cable for a new one that doesn't transmit the "power" so that computer do not detect that the monitor was shutdown.
4. Change the resolution on boths monitors to native resolution
5. Change the primary display from external monitor to laptop monitor
6. Changer HKLM\Software\Microsoft\TMM\UseIViewHelper from 1 to 0
7. Try to get an answer from Apple, Intel and microsoft support.

PLEASE HELP! I Don't know what else to do!
This do not happend on MacOS, is happends only in Windows.
Thanks, Andres Rormoser.

The only solution that I found so far was to install Actual Window Manager, separate the secondary monitor in tiles, assign each window to each tile, add a shortcut to start/stop ActualWindowManager and every time the computer wakes up with the windows re-arranged I press the shoutcut and everything goes back to my predifined layout.

  • Looses network connection when computer goes to sleep... and password ques.

    So... I browsed the forum (not too in depth...) and have found anything to help me on this issue.
    When my computer goes to sleep I lose my connection. Even when I was testing it out and put it to sleep for five seconds it happened. So every time my computer goes to sleep I have to reconnect to my network and re-mount my external HD. Every time. And on top of that... when I type in my WAP password to connect... I check the option to save the password in my keychain and it never saves it. It saves the password to connect to the external HD, though... just not the network.
    Anyone have an idea?

    The keychain is pretty much a central place that stores usernames, passwords, and some kinds of cryptography information (certificates and keys). OS X provides an interface so it's easy for programmers to make their applications use the keychain. That way, all of your passwords are stored in one place. Useful feature, that.
    Keychain Access is used to access things in the keychain. So if you have a program that doesn't use keychain, you can use keychain access to display the password for various things you've long since forgotten.
    Keychain access is also useful for double-checking that something is in the keychain - or for removing things that are already there that you don't want to have in the keychain.
    As for two passwords for your network - that sounds correct. One is for the network, and the other is for the AirPort Base Station. Keychain Access has the "kind" column, and there are two kinds of entries:
    AirPort Base Station Password: This is not used to access the network - it's used to configure the base station.
    AirPort Network Password: This IS what you use to access the network.
    Though your mention of "login" and "system" passwords is making me think you may be talking about the passwords for the "system" and "login" keychains.

    @hinote80:  I ran into a wake problem with my new 17" MacBook Pro (early 2011).  At first, I did the shutdown via the power button and then a restart, but that wasn't something I wanted to keep doing.  I had also tried tapping on various keys on the keyboard but none of them seemed to wake it up (that approach always worked on my nearly 6-year-old PowerBook).  I also tried moving around the Bluetooth Mighty Mouse (that I have paired with the MBP laptop) but that didn't work either.
    While searching for another approach, I happened to click once on the mouse and that seemed to wake up the laptop everytime.  So, now I'm doing that.  If you don't have a mouse, maybe just tapping the scrollpad once (as if doing a click) would have the same effect.  worth a try.

  • Windows 8.1 screen bounces between primary and secondary monitors

    I have a Lenovo T530 laptop with a docking station and a IBM monitor L200P attached to it.
    Up until yesterday, this configuration was running Windows 8 Pro with no issues.
    However today, after I installed the Windows 8.1 upgrade, I started having problems with the screen bouncing between the primary and secondary monitors without my intervention. The problem happens very regularly, regardless of whether I have selected the laptop as primary monitor or the IBM monitor attached to the docking station.
    I verified that the problem does not happen with Windows 7 and Windows 8 installation and only starts appearing after the Windows 8.1 upgrade is applied.
    Does anybody have similar problems
    Thank you in advance.

    <blockquote>
    another thing you could try is this: enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx'''.
    double-click it and change its value to '''1.2''' (or any other zoom factor that fits your purpose: 1.0 relates to 100%, 1.2 equals 120% and so on; -1.0 is the default value and will adhere to the system settings).
    </blockquote>
    Okay, I tried it, set it to 1.2 and even more stuff got blurry and fuzzy. Besides everything in the FF menu bar everything in the header on youtube and a few other pages did it too. It did make the pages fill the actual page better, but the blur is worse than this prob so I set it back to -1.0.
    Any other ideas?

    Glad it helped. I only remembered it was there because I'd just been checking something else in that screen.

    It may well be a driver issue but considering the loading: Xorg trying to load different drivers is somewhat normal. @cafe you can see that these are autoconfigured by X above the loading in the log:
    Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched intel as autoconfigured driver 0
    Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched intel as autoconfigured driver 1
    Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched modesetting as autoconfigured driver 2
    Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched fbdev as autoconfigured driver 3
    Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched vesa as autoconfigured driver 4
    As long as one of the drivers gets loaded, which it apparently does the failing of the others is fine.
    Was there an update maybe ?

  • My MAC mini looses the wi-fi connection to a Belkin N wireless router when it goes to sleep or shut down.  I have to re select the network when restarting or waking the computer up.  I think this just started with Lion.  My iPod and iPad  have no trouble.

    My MAC MINI looses the wi-fi connection to a Belkin N wireless router when it goes to sleep or shuts down.  I have to re select the network when re starting or waking up the computer.  I think this just started with LION.  My iPod and iPad have no problem remembering the wireless network.

    Thank you BGreg.  That is what I have been doing, and then it works just fine.  I think it was doing the same thing in the previous version of Lion.  I may be incorrect about that.  I upgraded to 10.7.3 a few weeks ago, and then last week I reloaded the combo update, hoping it would help.  Not so.  Thank you for letting me know it is a common problem.  I have tried permissions in Disk Utilities, and in Macaroni, both at least 4 times, plus numerous restarts.  Nothing Improves.  It still can not find the internet when it wakes up or gets up.

  • Need help - wifi gets disconnected when it goes to sleep mode - iOS 6, iPhone 5, WPA Enterprise

    Hi, I have read a lot of discussions regarding wifi gets disconnected when it goes to sleep mode on iOS 6, mainly on iPhone 5.
    Here is my configuration and it just keeps disconnecting wifi connection once it goes to sleep mode
    iOS 6
    iPhone 5 white
    Purchased on Nov 3
    Work wifi config: WPA Enterprise
    I tried to manual add the wifi but it did not work. I tried all except for upgrade to iOS 6.0.1. I had a call to Apple Support and the guy told me I could not trust everything i read from here (well, how dare he is!!!). But I did all I could think of, and read from here.
    I am with ATT and I do not have a receiption at all at work. I have to turn it to airplane mode, and use the wifi connection. I put my iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0 side-by-side to compare. My iPhone with iOS 5.0 DOES NOT disconnect the wifi connection when it goes to sleep mode; but of course, we all know, iPhone 5 with iOS 6.0 does
    Any helps would be so much appreaticated. I am considering to return the phone to apple store, and cancel my 2 yrs extended contract with ATT. I might think to get another one once they have the issue fixed. It is no point to have an expensive paper-weight at work while I can't use the celluare nor wifi connection.
    Thanks again,

    Hi ChrisJ4203
    I have tested it at home wifi tonight. My phone and my wife's iphone (both iPhone 5 with iOS 6.0) do the same.
    With cellular data on (aka airplane mode OFF) with WIFI ON
    Wifi icon replaced by ATT's LTE icon once the phone was waken up from sleep mode; but within 2 secs, the wifi connection got reconnected again.
    With cellular data OFF (aka airplane mode ON) with WIFI ON
    WIFI icon disappeared from the top bar after both phones were waken up from sleep mode. It took a while to reconnect to the wifi network (more than 10 seconds).
    On a separate note, after i rebooted my phone, i can see it does "searching" the ATT's signal, then it shows "No Service", then next second, it shows ATT with full bars and LTE icon.
    My question is, i have never noticed the "No Service" showing up from my iPhone 4. The "No Service" shows up on my wife's phone too. When I first got her phone and was doing the installation, I had noticed the cell signal dropped from full bars to no service, then within few seconds, it went back up. I have not had time to test on her phone again, but it is something I will be monitoring for. I wonder if anyone has similar experience like this.
    anyhow, any feedback on how to fix the wifi got disconnected while in sleep mode would be very helpful.
    thanks,

  • Internet goes stale after computer goes to sleep and then needs to be rebooted to function properly

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • HT3964 My MacBook Pro i5 Dual Core has a hardtime waking up when the computer is put to sleep and only when it goes to sleep and has been asleep for a while. The indicator light flashes on and off for a while and then freezes. I've done an SMC reset once.

    Does any one have the same problem with their MacBook Pro i5 Intel Dual Core?  If the computer goes to sleep (not the screen) and is asleep for a while, when I try to wake it up it doesn't respond. I have to power it downn and restart it and sometimes it takes two or three attempts. Otherwise it works fine. I upgraded the memory to 8 GB. That is the only alteration doen to it. I've performed one SMC restart and now it wakes up  but it takes a while and a gray screen shows up. When I insert a DVD it won't start automatically I have to start the application in order to see it. Any suggestions?

  • I have a Touchsmart 610-1280qd when it goes to sleep at night it powers off and has to be replugged

    It goes to sleep at night the blue light on the side goes from blue to amber. In the morning the amber light is out, move the mouse, key on the keyboard, nothing. Push the power button, nothing.
    Unplug the computer from the surge protector and plug it in the same spot, nothing. Plug it into another recepticle in the surge protector, it powers up.
    I have plugged it straight into the wall, same symptoms, unplug it, plug it back in the wall, nothing. Plug it into the surge protector, it powers up.
    This is very consistent, unplugging and plugging into the same recepticle will do nothing, plug it in elsewhere, up she comes.
    Been a REALLY sweet computer except for this one flaw and it is bizzare.  I have had this computer since February and this started about 2 months ago.
    BTW, when I change the power plan to have the screen go to sleep but the processor stay on, it does stay on overnight which I suppose is not surprising. My  power setting is balanced with the monitor going off in 10 minutes and the computer going to sleep in 20 minutes.
    This question was solved.

    After reading through your post a few times, then looking around the forums (HP's and others) I suspect that it could be a power brick issue. It sounds intermitent so perhaps this is one solution if you have not explored it already.  Seems like others have had the same expereince and the fix was to replace the brick.  I hope if you rediscover this post your issue is already resolved but if not, try that.

  • I have just got an iMac 21" and it continuously freezes when it goes to sleep and also when the internet is trying to load, i have tried three different browsers but it still does it (safari, google chrome and firefox), does anyone know what is wrong?

    I have just got an iMac 21" and it continuously freezes when it goes to sleep and also when the internet is trying to load, i have tried three different browsers but it still does it (safari, google chrome and firefox), does anyone know what is wrong?

    To fix the freezing when sleeping problem go to System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'Computer Sleep' to 'Never'. It seems there is a problem for some with Bluetooth failing to wake after sleep. This fixes it 100% for me and many others on here, until Apple issue a software update to address it.
    Not sure what to suggest on the internet problem. I assume you are connected and receive and send emails OK.
    Edit: To try to troubleshoot the internet issue maybe try turning the Firewall off: System Preferences>Security & Privacy>Firewall tab.
