I did this as soon as I got to the office today at 7am. Decided to restart the computer instead of just restarting Microsoft programs and so far 3 hours almost and everything still looks as it should.Steps:
1. Launch Excel
2. Click "Options -> General"
3. Inside 'User Interface options - When using multiple displays" select "Optimize for compatibility"
4. Close Excel
5. Re-launch Controller and test.
No idea if this works … just what Google told me to do.
So update to my last post. Everything worked just as they should until I stepped away from my computer to have a meeting and laptop went to sleep. When I came back and woke it up it reverted to the same thing again. FrustratingSteps:
1. Launch Excel
2. Click "Options -> General"
3. Inside 'User Interface options - When using multiple displays" select "Optimize for compatibility"
4. Close Excel
5. Re-launch Controller and test.

Went into Office updates and it was set on "Automatic". I searched for an update which it did and it all acted fine until computer went to sleep because of inactivity for a while. Did the same stuff once I woke it up

Hilarious that this isn't 100% controlled by the O.S.Steps:
1. Launch Excel
2. Click "Options -> General"

There's also a simple script which will keep it awake. But, REALLY sad that Windows isn't doing its job. I'm probably a broken record by now, but am so frickin glad I switched to Linux this past spring. Ironically, I use multiple browsers for multiple reasons. And the ONLY browser which has issues is "Edge". Not to mention since they went to the Chrome engine, is the most bloated of all browsers by 50% and is the one being updated the most. Tell you anything?
