Recently after waking up from sleep, windows would only show my main monitor with my secondary blacked out. I had to go to screen resolution> extend display to get the 2nd monitor working. I have a BenQ fp241vw for main and the HP2335 for secondary, 7057 win7 build . Tried resetting the monitor to default as well as windows power plan already. I know I can just turn sleep off, but I wanna try and figure out what the problem is.

Anyone experiencing similar problem?

Is this only at the login/unlock screen, or after you get to your desktop?

after I get to desktop.
The login screen has always only shown one monitor and that doesn't bother me.

The login screen has always only shown one monitor and that doesn't bother me.Correct; I just wanted to make sure that wasn't the issue you were talking about.

I haven't experienced similar problems on my desktop, so my guess is video driver. What GPU does it have? (And have you reported the issue to MS?)
