Monitors vanish from system with 1703 update

Post by gareth » Mon Aug 21, 2017 7:52 am

I had Aster 2.18 running, then the 1703 update installed.
Then when Terminal1 was idle, the monitor shut off. Nothing I did would revive it so I restarted the computer from Terminal2.
On reboot, the Windows Control Panel no longer shows any monitors on my system other than the Terminal 2 monitor, which is not even the monitor that the Bios uses when booting up the computer.
So now I can no longer even try to use these monitors, with or without Aster activated. I disabled/rebooted aster, re-enabled, disabled&rebooted then uninstalled. And still those monitors no longer show up in my device manager.
I have uninstalled the video card driver, and reinstalled. Uninstalled the monitor driver that IS working and reinstalled, still the other monitor does not show up. Normally Aster shows 4 monitor devices because that is what my video card has ports for, but I only have 2 monitors actually plugged in to the computer.
This is the second time this problem has happened with this 1703 update. The first time which was a few days ago, I formatted my computer and reinstalled everything in order to be working again. Then the update happened again and now I am back to broken.
I also tried "rolling back to the previous version of windows" like they have built in to windows 10, but it did not work.

please help! I don't know what it is Aster changes to the system to make it do what it does, but whatever it is, does not go away when the software uninstalls

I'm having the same problem and so far the solution is to postpone windows update again and again.
I would not like to do this forever, so I hopefully there is a solution!

Everytime there's a new Windows 10 build, Aster just breaks after update

I have installed ROSAs offical WINE for 64 bit systems, but it doesnt seem to be working. I tried using the configure wine program would not run at all and tried to install a Windows program that I used with Wine successfully on another linux system, but the setup.exe wont start. Anyone know why? Thanks, ROSA is beautiful polished user interface- my new favorite linux.
