Well, yes I suppose that would be the nuclear option :) But I do have to update at some point and find an alternate solution I think.

PS. my monitor doesn't sleep now once the screen is locked. Can't say if that is coincident with this update or a previous one, but another change in behaviour. Why does Microsoft keep screwing up sleep??

Are you positive it's a Windows issue and not AMD? I've seen many threads on reddit about multi monitor issues with AMD GPUs. I suppose it isn't AMD if it worked fine before 24H2.

Well, good point. I haven't checked if something hasn't happened with AMD drivers behind the scenes. I didn't actively change AMD drivers but @sswilson was having driver changes he didn't want to have happen that he talked about in that other thread.

Worth me checking for sure.

24H2 has been such a major buggy mess from day one.

Heh..... I think I finally tracked that down to being my fault. Looks like the card's memory was probably not getting enough airflow and causing the driver to fail.... after a week or so of trying different things (including blocking drivers and setting high case fan profiles tied to GPU temps) "somebody" :rolleyes: had a eureka moment and remembered that my vid card has a bios switch, and wouldn't you know it.... it was of course set to "quiet" as opposed to "performance".

Haven't had any issues since. :)

Ah very good then. Perhaps I can go back to finger pointing at MS then :) I will double check my AMD driver though just to be sure.

24H2 has been a buggy mess since day one. Tons of hardware specific issues.

I'm guessing they don't have a hell of a lot of folks left in the beta testing program.

I have no issues with 24H2 but then again I use a single monitor and block optional updates in group policy.
Aside from the drivers it blocked, only the one ASUS one reported, and this oddity when running through the KVM I don't have other issues that I've noticed yet anyway.

I expect even with the KVM, if I was able to run both monitors through the KVM so that they both switched desktop/laptop, this wouldn't be an issue. The issue arises when the desktop loses the 4K and squishes everything on to the 1080p :)

Just odd that it wasn't an issue before and everything restored correctly even though the same squishing was happening, but now it restores to the correct monitor but with the wrong window size and position.

Soooo....I am now on 24H2, and I have an issue. :ROFLMAO:

I am using an older Logitech C525 webcam, but Win11 24H2 will not allow the driver to load. I get this pop-up:

Thoughts? It wants me to turn off security settings in order for it to load. Any work around options without turning off security features?
