Windows 11 Won't Recognize My Second Screen Correctly

I'm having an odd issue with my dual screen setup on Windows 11. Yesterday, I connected my Panasonic smart TV as a second display and everything was going well. I was using it to extend my desktop until I launched a game (FM26). After that, Windows 11 decided to stretch the desktop across both screens, and now it only recognizes the second screen as a clone of the main display. My graphics card is an AMD 7900 XTX Sapphire Nitro. What's strange is that this setup worked perfectly before without issues. I've looked online for solutions but haven't found anything that helps. I should note that both screens get recognized individually when plugged in alone, and they were working together until Windows altered the setup. Any suggestions?

I've had a similar problem before. It seemed like AMD's AI assistant changed my settings without me realizing. After I reconfigured Eyefinity, the screens worked fine again. You might want to check that as well!

Try unplugging the HDMI cable, restart both your devices, and then plug it back in. Sometimes a reset will fix display detection issues.

It sounds like the problem might be related to AMD Eyefinity. You can check the AMD software (Adrenalin), go to settings, then display, find AMD Eyefinity, and run the quick setup. After you complete the setup, discard it. That might reset the detection issue for your screens.
