tech, trying to bugfix 

Okay so... This pc has two Apple hd cinema displays attached to it. Windows 10 works with them fine... Kind of.

EVERY time the computer turns the screens off for power saving (these monitors have no controls on them. :| ), When it comes out of that mode, the right hand screen is garbled, like so

Causing the screen to refresh fixes it (changing it to display only on one monitor, then changing back to extend)..

Oh right, tagging @salith in this too.
I got a video too but it's too big to just post here so I'll give a link in a bit.

Anyway, I've tried Dual Monitor Tools and Display Fusion, but neither change anything to fix this issue, and no drivers exist for Windows 10 for these monitors. They just install as "generic pnp monitors".

@Nine @salith Try some of these options (one after another) windowsreport.com/windows-10-b

Seems there are known issues in a similar vein to this, but with no known fix yet.

@Salith@mastodon.social @salith I ended up doing a workaround of disabling the 20 minutes until turning off the screens (which is what causes the weirdness with the second monitor) power saving with just the default blank screensaver that turns on after 20 minutes inactivity and it didn't do the same issue. It seems to literally just be "turning the screens off" that causes the issue.
