Windows used to see the HMD as a second screen and now it doesn't, I have 1 other HDMI port and 1 DP port free on my GPU and yet it still doesn't recognize it as a second display, I've tried swapping ports and such.

Yet I can say with certainty that up until about at least August 2 different Oculus Rift CV1 units were seen as secondary displays on my Win10 machine, all drivers and software have always been up to date for all hardware, software, and OS. Coincidentally I started having issue with the virtual keyboard and "Virtual Desktop Pullout Experiment" function around the same time that the HMD was no longer recognized as a second monitor.
So I really don't know why 1.x Rift Software allowed 2 different CV1 units to be seen as secondary displays up until August, but because they were it allowed me to have "Virtual Desktop Pullout Experiment" enabled and allowed my to have a keyboard that was in the virtual Oculus Menu space rather than the default Windows keyboard on my Desktop View window (which is what I am stuck with now). So I am trying to figure out how to get that back because honestly it's a nice feature and not having it is a bit annoying.
