Hey everyone! I'm experiencing an odd problem where the BIOS splash appears on my monitor but the Windows login screen remains hidden. Once the BIOS shows up, my screen goes dark until I turn the monitor off or plug it back in. Replacing the DP cable or switching monitors resolves the issue and lets me see the login screen again. When using two monitors, the BIOS appears on the non-primary one, but not on the primary. With both monitors set up this way, the login screen doesn't show up at all. My motherboard is an MSI Tomahawk Z790 Wi-Fi, running Windows 11, with Gigabyte M32UC as the main display and Acer XB271HU as a secondary. Both are connected via DP cables to a 4090 port, and I think I set the priority correctly. Any tips or fixes would be greatly appreciated!
