How do I get single screen games to tolerate multi-monitor displays?

[ahelpinghand4slapping]

Forgive my ignorance, but I haven't been able to really find an answer. To be clear, I'm not trying to get any games to display across both monitors. All I'm trying to do is have games display on my primary monitor without disrupting what's on the second.

Some games can do this just fine, but others not so much. Some games will force the second monitor to the desktop, often with weird changes to the resolution. And some will do that, AND turn the primary monitor to static when I exit the game, and deny the second monitor control of the start bar. I can't even get to the task manager. I have to force reboot my computer.

Is there some setting somewhere, either in these games or on my graphics card, that I can toggle to fix this problem? This is incredibly annoying. Please and thank you.

Run the game at your monitor's native resolution. That helps against the second monitor getting garbled.
What do you mean by turning to static?

Graphic card ?

im doing this in nvidia controll panel.

clone or prime and second Monitor. ( and side by side ) well if AMD something like that i dont know.

problem is each game you have choise with can be or need to be reconfigureded hard to tell depend on whats is 1 or 2 already.
then basic is done , who know if nvidia card you have try nvidia experience maybe that can find games and optimized all/most faster ( dont know if this will work ) but to go through 100 of game or let a app take over can be a helping hand. ( again i have no idea if it can switch monitor already config in a game , but worth a try i think.

ps.
dont forget some games dont have config , they use default OS system, so i think from that term most in-game setting is config correctly. ( and why will you 2 as prime if its 1, so you might already have it right. )

I mean like TV static. Like it doesn't know what to display, so it displays interference. I do run the games at its native resolution, it makes no difference.

Not to be offensive, but I think English must be a second language for you. I'm having a hard time understanding. So you're saying optimizing through NVidia Experience can fix most of these problems?

Don't use GFE, it's just bloatware and spyware

It is? First I've heard of that. I thought it was needed for the graphics card to work properly. What would you recommend, then?

Yes, it is. And no, it isn't needed. If you want to update drivers always do it manually, just search up "Should I use GFE".

Thanks for the advice. Good looking out. Any extra steps I should take on the uninstall to make sure everything malicious is gone?

No, uninstalling via windows is enough.

first of all, maybe you dont get it , with/many 200+ games installed gl going through them all,
and why are you even on internet, every page you visit has a cookie or you leave a trace, maybe you should disconnect from everything stop use mobil stop all eletronic. gl with that.

why are you even have windows while we are at it. and you complain over nvidia GFE, why even use steam. you think you know something , fact is most of the time experience can save your alot in time for best performance, if your graphic card cant run at maximum in everything.
blowware my butt, maybe its actual you that is the problem.

fact is with out any information why things crash or know what users experience is , those who made hardware will not have a clue.

go google yourself , and i bet you already is know by internet. ( you need to be very education then this was new thing to avoid even been mention at all.
so conclusion is, you dont know jack and crap here. ( you are a noob and sit tell other what bloatware is. ( Don't use GFE, it's just bloatware and spyware ) my butt, you are to screw up here,and dont get windows and other software try to learn user's setttings.

please find a hole and go there.

maybe this was a news flash then snowden explan something about the world.
but we are other that new this way before he was even born, 30-40 years of computers
if you have that age, that is even before him, point is, you are to late here, things are at it is.

Excuse me?

notkennyS yes U2
( this actual tell everyone , you think you know something about actual you dont ( that piece of crap software was made because many nvidia user dont know best optimized per game.) this is by your definition is blotware and spyware.

if nvidia knew who much they have to do , they will never had made it,

sense when has it been a company problem that every pc owner, cant figureout to configured own game setting. ( this just point out, you argue with the rest of the world that want a one button fix. and you just lost the debat with spyware. )

Oh boy, half of the time GFE doesn’t get their “optimization” settings correct. Just google it. If you’re going to try and correct someone, at least don’t fill out insult them, that was pretty rude.
