SensorPanel loads on the wrong monitor

[Davajita]

I've got a nice sensor panel setup that I put together on a separate little 1920 x 480.  I run three 3840 x 2160 monitors side by side, and the little screen is mounted inside my rig, and positioned to top right of the rightmost screen in Display Settings.

When I first put it together I moved it to that panel and it fit perfectly.  And it would load correctly onto that screen when the application would load on Windows Startup.

Then suddenly one day, it started loading onto the upper left corner of the right side 4k screen.  In the options menu I have pinned the sensor panel to the 1920 x 480 screen and locked the panel size and position, but every time the computer starts now, it loads on the wrong monitor and the the sensor panel settings reflect that it has been pinned to the wrong monitor.

I'm at my wits end trying to understand why it's doing this and how to fix it.  And especially why it worked fine for a while and then suddenly didn't.

This is SO annoying it's happening here as well and I just can't fix it! I am doing everything correctly, but every time I turn on my computer, it opens on my main display despite selecting the second! 

Not sure how active Aida are on here and if it'll be fixed.

@TheRealGD2X  Both of you, please try the following:

1) Upgrade to the latest AIDA64 beta update:

https://www.aida64.com/downloads/latesta64xebeta

2) When the issue of the SensorPanel appearing on the wrong monitor occurs, in AIDA64 please press Ctrl+D --> System Debug --> Devices Dump. Copy-paste the full results into this topic, or attach the results as a TXT file to your post.

Thanks,
Fiery

I have a similar display setup to OP and the same problem.
Additional info: sometimes the monitor number in AIDA64 changes.
I would pin to for instance monitor 2, and then after a restart, hibernation or even when the monitors just wake from powersave the monitor numbers have changed. Result: 2 isn't the same monitor anymore.

It's like the order in which the monitors are detected changes and they get addressed 1-2-3-4 at random in stead of by device id.

@Fiery is this fixed in 3.60 or not? I'd appreciate a meaningful reply instead of the same beta copy pasta. Thanks

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing an issue with AIDA64 Extreme where the Sensor Panel keeps moving between my secondary screen and the main screen. It’s set to display on the secondary screen, but occasionally it jumps to the main screen on its own. Has anyone else encountered this problem, and is there a solution to keep it locked on the secondary screen?

Thanks for any help!

NOT fixed! Same with 3.60 / latest Beta!

This is so annoying!

Hi. I have the same problem. Please update me on a solution if you come up with one. Many thanks

I'm having the same problem with a little 1920x480 panel that I set up. It keeps loading in the top left part of monitor 1.

Same issue here. Always loads up on main screen..

My experience is that this happens when updating the GPU drivers. While installing, the old drivers get uninstalled/disabled, Windows reverts to basic settings and temporarily uses a different monitor ordering. At that moment, AIDA64 loses it's monitor for the sensor panel and reverts to the first available display.

I don't know if possible, but AIDA64 should check for a Windows API update on display settings. If this Windows API event takes place, AIDA64 should restore the position of the sensor panel to the correct display again (works when doing manually using the "Reset position" button in the configuration screen).

After a few hours of looking into this, I came up with an issue that may or may not be related to the persistent moving around and resolution changing of the sensor panel. 

I have 3 monitors set up. Two primary 1440 monitors, and one 1024x600 for the panel. According to Windows AND Nvidia, my monitors are set up as 1 primary, 2 secondary and 3 sensor panel. However, I find that in Aida64 preferences, my sensor panel shows as "DISPLAY 3 2560 x 1440 (Primary). Interestingly, this is the monitor that the panel always opens up on, incorrectly. I have tried everything to get it to show correctly, but it does not.  

I have attached a picture in hopes that it helps to see what I am saying.

For me, it opens 80% of the time on the wrong screen....

New Beta, still not fixed!
