The Ghost Process [SOLVED]
Contro:
Don't seems to be desktops.exe from systernals. Why ? the three points only apply to the first desktop of the four desktops from systernals app.
A hidden process ?
I have no viruses at the present moment.

So you have 3 virtual desktops controlled by some unknown software (that puts the 3 dots at the bottom of the screen to select the active desktop) and one of those desktops is another set of four desktops provided by the SysInternals desktops.exe app?

try to forget that and concentrate in determining the ghost process or service.
I have three actions running :
1. New consultations in other forums trying to determine the ghost process .
Perhaps any person that uses that program and knows about the three points and the way to put in the screen...
2. I carry yesterday the broken monitor. Have no solution. Don't receive energy . The technical service recommend substitution.
3. I am searching for alternatives to virtual dimension or systernals desktops. I have uninstalled Dexpot in my system. But my problem remains.
Shades:
Broken monitors:
The electronics in the section of your monitor that converts power from your national power grid to the voltages that the screen needs can break. Usually it is one or more capacitors that have "plopped". Something which happens sooner or later. Depending on the quality of these capacitors. Replacement of such capacitors is easy if you know how to (de-)solder components.
Plopped capacitors is the most common cause of failing monitors. The parts that convert the 220V grid power to the 5V/12V that the parts in your monitor need follows next as common cause of failure. Also rather easily fixed, but it helps if you have diagnostic equipment for electronics at hand, besides knowing how these sections work. This section is the most likely section that has one or more "burned up" components. this is something you usually can smell. Repair of that is tricky. it usually ain't difficult, but finding all components that have been damaged as a consequence of the actual burned up components, that is the tricky part.
Most people simply replace a monitor when that happens. Easier and something new and shiny to play with.
Uninstalling Dexpot"
Did you also reboot your computer afterwards or you just uninstalled? Graphical drivers use software that hooks in the hardware at low levels. Which is why you better do a full reboot when installing or uninstalling anything related to software that manipulates the way how Windows is able to show any kind of graphics on your screens in the first place.
Graphic drivers have improved significantly over the years, but it often is still better to make Windows go through a full reboot.
mwb1100:
I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but you mention that your computer has two Asus R7 240 AMD/Radeon graphics adapters and that you are also using the motherboard's integrated graphics (Intel). However, your process list file show a bunch of NVIDIA processes. As others have noted, graphics driver packages often bundle a ton of functionality, including virtual desktop features. you might wnat to consider ununstalling the NVIDIA stuff since you don't have an NVIDA adapter anyway.
