Some monitor detaches and cannot be attached again and application fall to open

[abbo90cyber]

I have 2 identical LG monitor and 1 LG Ultragear ultrawide one placed from left to right as LG, LG, LG Ultrawide (1, 2, 3).
I setup 2 profiles.

1. All ON; 2 as primary.
2. 1 OFF, 2 and 3 ON; 3 (Ultrawide) as primary.
3. 1 and 2 On, 3 OFF; 2 as primary

When passing from profile 1) to 3) everything works but coming back to 1) monitor 3 remains detached. I can't enable it neither manually from app.
I had to open monitor properties and reset Extend Desktop for monitor 3.

When passing from 1) to 2) everything works but it's not possible to change profile again in which right clicking on Monarch tray icon does nothing and opening it manually doesn't do anything as well.
I had to force close it through task manager and reopen it manually. And this time monitor 1 was detached and cannot be manually attached again. I had, again, to open monitor properties and reset Extend Desktop for monitor 1.

Please try this new release. I have improved how profiles are applied. let me know if this works for you as I don't have 3 monitors to test this case locally https://github.com/Nuzair46/Monarch/releases/tag/v1.5.0

So, the issue with the tray icon seems to be solved.
The first one, instead, still persists.

One thing I forgot to specify and may be useful is that that issue is present only if I reboot the PC.
While the PC is ON I don't have problems in switching profiles but if I reboot the PC, with Monarch set to open on startup with profile 3, I can't see anymore monitor 3.
I can switch to profile 1 but monitor 3 remains detached and not visible and cannot pass to profile 2 in which the monitor 3 that should become primary can't be seen.
And I have to extend desktop on 3 again from monitor properties.

@abbo90cyber Is this still happening?

[Nuzair46]

@abbo90cyber just to make sure.
Use version 1.5.1 or above and then delete your existing profiles as any profile created before will not work properly. Which is likely causing the issue for you. so please re create the profiles after deleting all of them

[abbo90cyber]

I tried deleting and re-creating them but I still have the same issue.
I also tried as administrator but nothing changes.

Also the second issue occurred again and I think I isolated it.

At start I made Monarch loads profile 3 and this seems to work.
Then I try to switch to profile 2 and (issue 1) monitor 3 doesn't turn ON.
So I try to switch to profile 1 where the monitor 3 is set as primary and this acctually works.
But from then on, Monarch tray icon is no more responding to any inputs.

So as from first post, I have to force close it through Task Manager and restore Desktop Extension from monitor properties.

I will need more info. Can you go to this directory C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Monarch and zip all the files and send here so i can take a look?

Also please confirm if its the latest version by checking for updates in Monarch settings page.

I have a similar issue (I think?):

• Monitor 1: Dell 34 inch Ultrawide, 120hz, connected via DP

• Monitor 2: MSI 27 inch WQHD, 120hz, connected via DP

• Monitor 3: My A/V Receiver which has my TV Connected, 4k display, 120hz, via HDMI

• Profile 1: "Desktop" - just Monitor 1 and 2 active, Monitor 1 set as primary

• Profile 2: "Desktop+TV" - all Monitors active, primary on TV

• Profile 3: "TV" - just the TV active, Monitor 1 and 2 inactive

When I now wanna switch from "Desktop" to "TV", I get hit by "Validation error: profile/layout does not match any currently-known enabled display on this system" - although in the Windows settings I can see Monitor 3 aka my TV as a disabled Display.

Monarch iteself just shows 2 active and 2 detected displays.

When I switch to "Desktop+TV" first, then the TV activates just fine and after that I can switch to "TV" only.
The other way around works just fine as well, "TV" to "Desktop" works as intendet, TV gets disabled, Desktop Monitors turn on.

I have the same issue with the tray icon becoming unresponsive sometimes. I however can not give any context as to when it happens, almost seems random. It can happen while I'm not even running any actions in the application, after a while of it being idle in tray while I do other tasks on my PC.
