    So I have an XPS 13 and couldn't get my external monitor to work (HDMI) after a reformat. I got it working after installing the 185.81 drivers and everything is great EXCEPT... When I wake my computer up from standby, I get the facial logon. I logon and then it reverts back to using my laptop monitor as the primary and turns off the external. When I go back into the NVidia Control Panel, all of the settings have been changed to default and I need to set it up again. THEN I need to go to Windows display properties and change the 1 and 2 values so the external is the primary again. About a three minute process every time I logon. Any advice...?
