PLS help H1Z1 resolution dual monitor issues
INFORMATION:

(This only happens with H1Z1 kotk, I have windows 10, 1920 x 1080 BenQ monitors, right monitor is primary and left monitor is secondary) I have a dual monitor set up, a week ago, everything was running fine. I ran the game on regular settings, the only thing changed was my resolution was set to 1600 x 1024, and my native is 1920 x 1080, but it didnt really matter. To get over to my second monitor all i did was press the windows key and and it would expose the windows mouse and i would just scroll over, without it closing the game. but ever since a couple days ago, whenever i would press the windows key, my task bar for windows would pop up in the bottom left corner and force close my game. So i was like okay whatever Ill just put my game in fullscreen windowed so it wont close, so after I did that, It starting freaking out for real. So now what is happening my right monitor (the one h1z1 is running on), will switch from 1920 x 1080 to 1600 x 1024 and randomly close the game sometimes and leave the game open other times when i try to click on anything on my left monitor. So for instance, my UserOptions in my Local Files on H1z1 says my res should be 1920 x 1080, but sometimes when i load the game it boots up in 1920 x 1080, and other times it boots up in 1600 x 1024, and then if I click on my left monitor background, google, discord or any other application that is only on my left monitor, it changes resolutions (sometimes) and closes the game (sometimes). It seems completely random. ALSO, if the game force closes in 1600 x 1024 then the screen will stay that resoltuion as it displays my background, but it only displays the background and the H1z1 desktop icon, and none of my other desktop icons, and when i click on it, it just changes the resoltuion back to 1920 x 1080.


ATTEMPTS TO FIX:

So with that said, this is what Ive done to attempt to fix it: update graphics drivers, switch monitors, switch dvi for hdmi, restarted computer, fideled with UserOptions for H1z1 (resolution and fullscreen vs windowed), redownloaded game, reset UserOptions.


MY GUESS AS TO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM:

What my best guess is, is that it has something to do with my RAM. I was playing on 1600 x 1024 for about 2 months maybe, then the windows key started not working, so i started playing on 1920x 1080, and now it alternates between the two, So i think its on the computers side and not the H1z1 UserOptions side.


THANK YOU TO ANYONE THAT TRIES TO HELP ME
