Mercury Transmit issue in 16.1

Just upgraded to 16.1 and I can no longer access my external monitor. Mercury transit automatically switches to "monitor 2" when I need it to stay on "monitor 1" even after I reset my preferences.

I made a forum post about this over 2 months ago- the issue started well before I made this post. There has been no indication of a patch to fix this from Adobe. I am truly shocked it hasn't been fixed by now.

I've had a working three monitor suite for years. Now I'm back to full screening my main workspace. Mercury transmit just isn't playing nice.

This was working for me yesterday - 5/31/19
My company did a mass install of 16.1.1 this morning - 6/1/19

When choosing a monitor in 'Preferences>Video Preview' - it doesn't hold the selection after pressing "OK"
When going back to the Preferences Video Preview - A monitor that wasn't selected is checked.

IS it me, or is this kind of crucial? I've searched the web for answers but nothing.

This problem is absurd. I've dealt with a few customer care tech's who only scratch their heads when they see me demonstrate the problem.

As a workaround I am using a free version of 'display fusion'. I clone one of my monitors that I then expand the source monitor on for the client to see. Working ok...but wow, not ideal.

Same issue for me on AE and Pr. This is very important functionality for a lot of users that just shouldn't be broken. New update out today but still no fix. Adobe??? There have been all kinds of bugs with every release. This is not Pro.

So..... How many months has this been broken? Almost 4 months? Longer? Is this what we can expect from a company earning over 9 billion in revenue in 2018? A complete lack of prompt bug fixes while barring us from using legacy versions of their software? This is seriously ridiculous.

Same here. Bugs take sooo much time to be fixed. That's insane for 60 euros per month per subscription. Adobe moves your a..... instead of satisfying your shareholders.

Anyway, we are beginning the transition to some other software.

Not only does MT have this problem but even when it does work it will periodically freeze and you have to switch comps to make it come back to life again. I've had it happen to me around 50 times already today and it's been like this since 15.1. Bit of a **** take really, especially as I reported it a year ago and there is still no fix https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2514217 I've even been told by phone support that the AE team are aware of the issue and it's a conflict with nVidia drivers. Well 5 different nVidia drivers hasn't fixed it and interestingly Premiere doesn't have the same problem.

Same problem as well, I have a 4k television and three monitors. When I try to pick the tv and my color grading monitor as playback, the color grading monitor will swith off and go to another monitor. All monitors are the same resolution, only difference is the reference tv. Was working previously but now no longer.

October 31, 2019 - Still not fixed.

This is a scaling issue. If I run windows 10 at 100% scaliing, problem solved. Run Windows 10 at 150% and problem comes back.

Come on Adobe, this has been a problem for way too long.
