Hi. Sounds like the "auto config " is built in to your monitor. It selects screen sizing based on the resolution, sync timing, refresh rate, etc... that your video card is adjusting on the computer.

I would suggest you to try changing the resolution in Windows and see if still receive the alert.

For more information on Screen resolution and display on monitor, check the below Microsoft Help & How-To Articles:

If it is doing it often and you are not changing screen resolution I would say the monitor itself might have issues. It’s possible your display driver may be corrupted. I would suggest you to download and install the latest drivers for the Monitor from the manufacturer’s website.

For more information on Updating a Driver and fixing driver problems, check the below Microsoft Help & How-To Articles:

Check the plug and cable, look for bent pins or pins pushed in.
Are you using one of those DVI/VGA adapters? If your monitor has dual inputs (DVI & VGA) have you tried using the other input?

Anyway you could check if the issue exists when the monitor is connected to another PC? Or maybe try another monitor on your PC?

Hope that is helpful.
