Thank you for your feedback! If you have a monitor port built in to your motherboard, that one is usually the primary port Monitor 1.
If you have multiple video cards, there's no surefire way to know which is the primary other than simply trying the reverse order. Do not plug in your second monitor yet.
Power on your PC. Press the power button on your laptop or desktop tower to do so. If your monitor is turned off, turn that back on as well. Right-click the desktop and select Display settings. This opens the Display settings window.
Plug in the second monitor. Windows will automatically detect the monitor and install any necessary drivers. Once the monitor is detected, you should see two monitors under "Multiple displays" in the right panel. The monitor labeled "Monitor 1" is the one that's now plugged in to the primary port.
The one labeled "Monitor 2" is now the second monitor that you just plugged in. If you connect a third monitor, it will be detected as Monitor 3, and so on. Windows has automatically recreated the registry entries you renamed earlier, so there's no need to return to the registry.

I've been following threads on this same topic because I have the same issue. In addition, the KVM switch was costly to begin with, so price is a big issue. Is there simply a way to revert to older behavior or ignore this annoying resize problem? I have a co-worker with the exact same computer, KVM switch, and Windows 7 and he says he did something and it fixed the problem Unfortunately he can't remember what he did.
If Microsoft's only answer is buy a new switch, which is quite expensive, then it's more feasible for me to install my previous version of Windows that worked fine. Windows 7 isn't worth buying a new KVM switch for. Thanks anyway. Definitely not acceptable in ! You're answer is buy a new switch?
You're kidding, right? Can't MS put out a patch to stop the polling of the monitors for EDID info which is what I think is happening with my system I have a DVI monitor connected directly, and a vga monitor going thru an old Belink OmniView KVM which is set up for extended desktop, and whenever you open a window ie for example on the VGA, the system moves the window back to the DVI and flashing of both monitors start happening.
Truth Telling Fool. This is a ridiculous answer "Buy new hardware".
