• Is it normal for connected HDMI to be the primary display instead the c

    From Ant@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jul 5 03:02:15 2021
    I have both HDMI (HDTV) and VGA (monitor) connected to my new 64-bit W10
    Pro PC (Intel Core i5-10400 Comet Lake 2.9GHz 6-Core LGA 1200 CPU
    (includes Intel UHD 630 GPU), ASRock H510M-HDV/M.2 Intel LGA 1200
    microATX motherboard, MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti DirectX 11.2
    N750TI-2GD5/OC (2 GB of VRAM), etc.). It didn't matter if I use the
    onboard video or the video card. I want my VGA (monitor) to be my
    primary screen and my HDTV to be the secondary. Even UEFI stuff shows on
    my HDTV (HDMI). Nothing on my monitor (VGA)! I remember the old PCs used
    to show same stuff on both displays during old BIOS and CMOS!

    Also, I'm using an old OmniCube KVM (PS2+VGA) from Y2K for my VGA
    monitor. W10 says my monitor is #2 (VGA) while HDTV (HDMI) is #1. How
    can I tell the motherboard to use my monitor as the first display (VGA)
    instead of my HDTV (HDMI)?

    Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

    Greeints from the future... This is is probably a bit late, so I guess
    you solved it already. Other than configuring it on Windows (Windows Key
    + P), I suppose you could configure the primary video out from the Bios,
    if the mobo supports it.

    Hi! Better late than never. I have to live with this hardware design. If
    I want my VGA screen, then I disconnect my HDMI cable.
