Windows Dual Monitor Errors

Good morning everyone,

This has only recently started happening and I have no hardware changes between it working and not working.

For some reason, out of nowhere, every time I try to run my game to test and it reaches an error of any sort my monitors both go black. I hear the sound, everything is still working, but the displays both go black permanently as if the display driver crashed. If I detach my second monitor and initiate an error it behaves normally, so this only happens with a second monitor. It isn't tied to any particular error or room in my game. I tested this by initiating a call to a non-existent variable in the starter room and the same thing happens.

Any ideas? Working with just one monitor is a workaround but it feels like I'm cutting off an arm.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Sounds like there's been a windows update (or driver) that's changed "something"....?
