Activity for Monitor Profile Switcher

    I think the bug it's mostly related to .NET versions or some other esoteric .NET issue with XML. I have 2 laptops both with latest Windows 11, both working on same 3 external monitor setup + internal occasionally (via Thunderbolt docking station + HDMI). In one of them I never have any issues, with same monitor setup. In the other one, it's a pain with crashes on some configurations.

    I have switched using another software https://github.com/zac15987/DisplayProfileManager It pretty much does the same thing, but it is just recently released and needs some polishing and bug fixes. The dev plans on adding sound device switchimg to it, which is a welcome addition. Monitor Profile Switcher worked wonderfully for years, so thank you Martin for all the work you did!

    I’ve run into an issue on my setup that seems to be related to VRR (Variable Refresh Rate). Here’s what’s happening: Living room: 65" LG CX OLED (HDMI) + 49" ultrawide Samsung monitor (DP) If I enable VRR on the OLED TV, the app crashes when saving or switching profiles. If I enable VRR on the Samsung ultrawide, everything works fine — profiles save and switch without issue. Downstairs setup: 43" AORUS 4K 144Hz (DP) + 32" LG 2K 144Hz vertical (DP) No problems here either, everything works perfectly...

    Hey, had the same issue with Spacedesk virtual monitor and the same "IndirectWired : 16" value in DisplayConfigVideoOutputTechnology enum, I was gonna fix it on the source code but found it already works, so I just compiled a release version and used it. Probably the latest binary should be updated here and in github for non-techy users.

    I'm working with a galaxy tab attached to my PC and using this: https://superdisplay.app/ to turn it into an additional monitor. I noticed that if I try to save a profile while the tablet is on, monitor switcher displays an error and saves a malformed and incomplete xml. When the tablet is off, monitor switcher saves the profile correctly. This happens both if super display is connected via usb or wifi. I'm on windows 10 home. error: Debug output enabled Getting display config Getting display settings...

    Brilliant, works great. One minor suggestion: add a "Load at Windows startup" option for the Sytem Tray GUI. Of course, you can accomplish this by manually adding a shortcut to your Startup folder, but some users may not know how to do this.

    hi, this is probably gonna sound stupid to those who know what they're doing, but referring to the multiple times it's said to "boot into safe mode to fix it (turned off screens)", what exactly are you supposed to do in safe mode? i've accidentally disabled 2/3 of my monitors, and the profile i saved won't load. the debug command isn't working either, so i'm sort of out of options.

  • Chris Chris posted a comment on discussion Feature Requests

    I ran into this issue as I wanted the default monitor profile to load at startup before the user actually logs in. This seemed like a bad way to go about it so instead I created a batch file that I'm calling when the computer shuts down! In task scheduler you can hook into an event with: Log: System Source: USER32 Event ID: 1074 This way your default monitor profile will be loaded at startup even if you're going about it a backwards way.

    For those familiar with DisplayFusion, when you change monitor profiles, once the switch is completed, you get a Windows app notification that disappears from screen after a second or two. This would be useful for Monitor Profile Switcher, especially when doing more complicated profile switches, such as when using 5 or 6 monitors, because those switches take considerably longer than when switching between profiles that use 1 or 2 monitors. Without a notification, it's not obvious when MPS has finished...

    I too am noticing this, I have placed a link to monitor profile switcher in <win><r> "shell:startup" but yet the app doesn't automatically start on reboot. </r></win>

    Hello, I want my laptop native monitor DPI scaling to be in one setting when I am using it remotely and sitting closer to it, and in another setting when I have it as part of my home office three-monitor setup and am thus farther away from it. Windows 10 Pro doesn't appear to have profiles so I tried your tool. Intel display drivers don't have this feature either. Although I am encouraged and your software appeared to mostly work, I did see two problems that I need you to comment on: The profile...

    +1, this is big omission.

    Hello everyone. Yes, this would be great, although there is a workaround I use quite effectively - get a tool to create custom resolutions and than create resolution that appropriates your desired DPI. MonitorSwitcher remembers and switches between various resolutions without any issues.

    Saving profiles with Screen 1 & 2 (or any screens) as "duplicate desktop" screen fails to load as a profile when you restart windows.

    This is more for the HTPC use case where one has a 3D / 4K UHD projector. When one switches from 3D which requires 1080P@24 frames per second and then swapping over to another 4K profile. When you change from extremes resolution the fonts get really really small. It would be awesome if when you change from one profile to the other the font size automatically changes as well.

    Nope sorry, nothing was changed in this regard

    Question! You said this update should help with restoring refresh rates. Should it help with toggling HDR as well?

  • Michael Kaicher Michael Kaicher posted a comment on discussion Feature Requests

    Love this tool. Saved scale settings would make it PERFECT for my purposes!

  • Michael Kaicher Michael Kaicher posted a comment on discussion Feature Requests

    I second this request!

  • rochestermike rochestermike posted a comment on discussion Feature Requests

    I'm guessing that this toggle will exist in Windows "11" as well. -rm

  • rochestermike rochestermike posted a comment on discussion Feature Requests

    Is it possible to support the built in HDR toggle in Display Settings? -rm

    I have version 0.8 now and since I have changed I have noticed that it no longer works with my Startup programs. The previous version did. Everything is set correctly with the Startup folder, shortcuts, and it shows that it is Enabled in the Task Manager but it still won't turn on at Startup. I'm thinking of switching back to 0.7 because that version worked with Startup.

    Hi, I would like to start thanking you for such an amazing tool. Would be possible for xbox controller support to change monitors? My scenario is that I have my PC in my office and a very long fiber optic hdmi cable + a powered usb extension running over my house to my living room. It would be amazing if I could just leave the xbox controller receiver there, press a buttom combo and have my secondary monitor to be used, which is my tv, one more buttom and Steam Big Picture. I know tools like joy...
