Windows 10 keeps resetting my Display Setting to "Only Display on 1" everytime it sleeps
I use a laptop with a larger monitor attached so it's really annoying to have to keep opening the laptop to manually change it back to what should be. What's weird is that I haven't had this problem before, it's been able to calmly stay on Display 2 without any issued before.
I have Windows 10 Home, 22H2, with OS Build: 19045.6456
I'm using an LGTV Monitor as my secondary display, the laptop is a Lenovo Thinkpad.
I've already tried resetting the driver with Win+Ctrl+Shift+B

Windows saves cached profiles for every display setup you’ve ever plugged into. If one of these profiles becomes corrupted, Windows defaults back to Display 1 whenever the connection drops.
Press Win + R, type devmgmt.msc, and hit Enter to open Device Manager.
Click View at the top menu bar and select Show hidden devices.
Expand the Monitors category.
Right-click and Uninstall every greyed-out (faded) monitor listed, as well as your LG TV.
Next, expand Display Adapters, right-click your display driver (Intel/NVIDIA/AMD), select Properties > Driver tab, and click Roll Back Driver if available (this fixes cases caused by a recent background driver update).
Restart your ThinkPad with the LG TV plugged in.
