Display problems after connecting the second screen
Display problems after connecting the second screen
Hi! I hope someone can assist me. I tried connecting a second monitor via HDMI and noticed my games were lagging at 20fps, so I removed it from my PC to check if that would help. However, my main monitor is behaving strangely now. My browser and YouTube videos are also becoming very choppy suddenly, even after removing the second monitor. When I open my browser in non-full-screen mode it stops the choppiness, but when I switch to full screen it returns. I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, changing the power cable, and switching display cables. Thanks for reading, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the assistance. It's strange that I just ended my background apps without thinking and my FPS returned to normal. I focused on Discord being the main issue, and after reinstalling it, the problem seems to be resolved. I might still need a new cable since I can't run my browser in the background while games are open, but it seems to work now. Appreciate your reply and any explanation you can provide.
It's a valid concern if everything behaves similarly. It might be that Discord was trying to distract you from the main task. I've witnessed unusual occurrences, but nothing quite like this where an app attempts to dominate the screen alone. It's odd. I'm relieved it's fixed. You might want to check your HDMI connection as a next step. If the problem persists, it could indicate another software issue.
