App does not reconnect display upon wake #3074

One of my four external displays often does not power up on wake after long sleep. Only after closing BD the display starts, so I have to restart BD almost every day to restore my setup from before sleep. Here are my settings (BD v 2.3.6 build 30972):

Yes, this might happen if the display has trouble responding in time during a wake. You can use Tools/Displays/Connect All Displays, that sends the same signal as the one sent during the app quit/termination procedure. You can add a keyboard shortcut to simplify to process (or script it via betterdisplaycli). An other thing you might try is increase wake and configure delays (under Settings/Application/Advanced...).

Let me know if none of these work!
