Dispalys forgetting previous layout settings

[rboerner]

The behavior described by both posters suggests that the macOS display persistence cache may be out of sorts.

A way to test this theory would be to clear the cache, aka reset the screen layout.

The easiest way I have found to do this is by using a feature built-in to the DisplayLink Support Tool utility --> https://www.synaptics.com/products/d...s-support-tool

1. Disconnect all of the external displays from the host
2. Download and launch the DisplayLink Support Tool application.
3. Click on 'Advanced' within the application's menu bar, and then click to select the option 'Reset screen layout'.
4. If prompted, enter your account password and click 'OK'
5. You should receive a confirmation that the screen layout was reset, and a prompt to reboot the host. Click on 'Reboot'
6. Once the system has been rebooted, reconnect the external displays. Since the layout has been reset, you will most likely have to adjust the display settings to your preference.

Hi there, thanks for the tip. I did try this, but unfortunately it did not work. Everything was reset as suggested would happen and I reconfigured my screen layout. But next time I disconnected, the screens were not where I left them. They seem to want to gather on my Mac. But its mainly the browsers and not other applications.


Appreciate you trying...

This tool worked for me then broke something else. Using camo studio pro as my camera software for vid calls. Once I used this tool that stopped working. Still investigating and will post a follow up if I resolve the issue.
