[Issue Dual Monitor] How to reset Dual Monitor ?

Dear Community,

recently i started working with DaVinci Resolve B17 and it's just awesome.
However, i created a Dual Screen setup and saved my settings under "Workspace->Layout Presets"

It looks like something broke my settings and now i'm stuck on a single monitor. "Load Preset" doesn't work. Changing the primary display doesn't work ether. "Reset UI Layout" and restart (or even reboot), nothing..
I'm still stuck on a single monitor and cant get my second monitor to work.

Workspace -> Dual Screen is ON and grayed out. I can't change it back.

Could someone help me out of this ?

Best regards from Berlin

I had a similar issue once after a crash. I fixed it by closing Resolve, changing the resolution of my monitors to something lower, restarting Resolve then changing resolution back. Maybe this will help you.

Have you checked that the computer is actually seeing two monitors? As you have given no system details, I will assume you are on Windows. In my case using an Nvidia GPU this is what I have in the Nvidia Control Panel. Set this way as I like the Timeline on my left. As I always use two screens there is no need for a preset in Resolves Workspace.

Thanks for your help.

I am using win10 with an NVIDIA GPU.
Within Windows everything works fine.

Changing my Resolution didn't work.

It looks like my monitor settings are somehow messed up.
Changing "Workspace -> Primary Display -> Generic PnP Monitor 1 to Generic PnP Monitor 2"
does not work ether. DaVinci stays on the same monitor i dragged the windows to.

In the Nvidia control panel try setting display 1 as the Primary display like I have. In Resolve monitor 2 is set as the primary display.

This is what my Desktop and Resolve look like with these settings.

I did it, but i have no idea how.

I removed 4x DSR within the NVIDIA Driver (basically rendering a 4k Image and downscaling it to 1080p) but i didn't used this within windows itself.
