Asus 4k monitor always resizes windows upon waking the display..

cthomas1489 · October 11, 2014

Is there anyway around this. If I let the display turn itself off after inactivity it resizes all my windows to the top left corner and I have to stretch them back out. I've read about people having problems with the display actually waking up from sleep mode, which I haven't had a problem with, just resizing the windows.

My actual computer does not go to sleep though just the monitor.

You could turn off the monitor sleep period in Windows? Or is it a monitor implemented sleep mode? If so there's probably an option for it in the OSD

Yeah I could turn off the setting that turns the display off...but if I'm not using it it's nice to have the display turn off. I checked the OSD and found nothing helpful.

Could be your graphics driver initializing the 4k resolution... simelar to how if you have two monitors, and you unplug one from the GPU, then plug it back in...

Yeah I was thinking it might be related to the drivers and how they handle 4k. It moves all my icons to the top corner too. Basically I've noticed it actually changes everything to a 1080p size display which is the size of the monitor I had attached before hand.

Have you tried reinstalling the graphics drivers? What gpu have you got?

I haven't yet. I have Nvidia's 340.52 driver and am using a GTX 760 until my two 980's get here next week. I was going to update the driver then but could try it now.
