When using the nVidia control panel to do so. But when I did so, I could no longer switch from Surround to Extended mode.

Helios Display Management does not require you to close any program before switching.Īnd now, with the release of the latest nVidia driver, 417.71 with Free Sync support I can finally make use of that feature my monitors have. I did so by simply removing the items from startup or uninstalling them all together, like I did with Skype and Your Phone. Luckily the list of programs/processes to kill is easily shortened. Sorry, this is a long story for 2 rather short questions: a) does Helios offer the features to circumvent (some) of the above issues and am I just not skilled enough to find and make use of them? b) And are you familiar with similar issues related to the latest nVidia driver, particularly when using its Free Sync support? And that seems the case with most people who are looking for it. I tried DisplayFusion and of course HeliosDisplayManagements, as well as a few others, but none offer a relatively easy way to switch/toggle between surround and extended mode. This works out fine 95% of the time, but not in this case. Instead I rely on programs and scripts written by others.

Then after 30 seconds or so it crashes and reboots itself.Īs you probably already figured out, I am no skilled programmer who can resolve these problems alone. When using the nVidia control panel to do so, my screens turn black and Windows is still running in the background. Doing so is extremely annoying as the process almost immediately reappears, only leaving a split second to act.Īnd now, with the release of the latest nVidia driver, 417.71 with Free Sync support I can finally make use of that feature my monitors have. The only option left is to stop the process temporarily using the Task Manager.

When I removed the executable, I lost the Start menu. I guess it is a critical part of the, as the name already suggests, start menu experience. But others are more difficult to take care of, like stopping the "StartMenuExperienceHost" service. And Office 2019 also might add to that list as it is so tightly integrated into Windows 10. The list of programs or features to kill before surround mode can be configured grows longer fast, which I guess is to be expected when using Fast ring Insider builds. This is most obvious when using the nVidia control panel to configure Surround mode. This issue is not specific to this particular Insider build (18323), but gets worse with the increasing number of new features and improvements to Windows 10.
