Windows 10 and 980 Ti running 3 monitors

I was wondering if anyone has had similar problems with Windows 10 and Nvidia cards in a multi monitor setup.

I'm currently running Windows 10 with a 980 Ti and the 353.62 drivers, but I can't seem to run all three monitors at the same time.

I currently have the following monitors connected to the 980 Ti:
- Dell U3011 30" 2560x1600 monitor connected by Displayport
- Dell U2410 24" 1920x1200 monitor connected by Displayport
- LG LG L246WP 24" 1920x1200 monitor connected by DVI

The U3011 is my main and always on, but it seems I can only run one of the 24" monitors at any given time. If I switch my U2410 on, my LG turns off. If I turn it off, the LG goes on again. Windows 10 will not detect the LG monitor when the U2410 is on, but automatically detects it when the U2410 is off.

How is Windows 10 handling multi-monitor setups differently? This all works fine in Windows 7.

I guess Windows 10 just detects monitors differently, and it has something to do with the way it detects Display port monitors being turned on and off. However, I was able to find a fix within Nvidia Control Panel

- Goto Display > Set up multiple displays
- Click on "My display is not shown"
- Click on "Rigorous Display Detection"
- It detected my monitor and I was force enable it so that it is seen by Windows 10.
