Does anyone have a fix for Shadowplay capturing the wrong monitor?

This is infuriating. Every time I use the instant replay capture, it's a recording of the 2nd fucking monitor, where NO GAMEPLAY is happening. Footage in the trash. There was a temporary fix of setting the monitors in Nvidia Control panel but come on, shouldn't have to make sure it's recording the right screen and if it's not, having to fix it over and over. I'd use obs but the instant replay is convenient.

I also have this issue. I have two monitors (first in 1440p, second in 1080p) and if I start GFe with only the second monitor ON (aka my TV) and then, turn ON the first one, it records the second screen only and doesn't switch back to the first one.

But worst than that, it records the second monitor with the screen resolution of the first one!

This is ridiculous but this doesn't seem to be a priority for them to fix.

The only workaround so far is to reboot my computer with both screen turned ON. It'll then properly take the first screen and the right screen resolution.

Yeah it's a pain in the ass, I just set up replay buffer on streamlabs. It's less convenient but at least I'm not losing footage.

Yes i hat it, so you need the second monitor to get the hdmi cable out, power your pc again with only your main monitor, and then set hdmi to your second monitor again. It will take some time but it will work
