    Extra monitor desktop extension fails

    After the last update from Microsoft Update I cannot extend my desktop to my
    second monitor anymore. I do get the background image on the second monitor,
    but I cannot move the mouse there. Has anything been changed here or will
    there be a fix soon to cope with this problem?

    RE: Extra monitor desktop extension fails

    I seems like Windows had switched my monitor identification so if I went the
    other way (to the left on my left screen) I ended up on the other screen (to
    the right on the right screen).
