Hey, I've been using this tool for years and it's fantastic. However, I recently switched to a Samsung Odyssey G9 and I'm having some issues that might be able to be solved with this tool. The monitor has a PIP/PBP mode that allows you to split the monitor into two displays. In this mode, I'm having an issue where one display will disconnect and when I try to switch to the full monitor (two halves) with Monitor Profile Switcher, it throws an error saying it failed to load profile.
If I then go into display settings on Windows, I can see that Windows only sees half of the monitor and my TV. Clicking "Detect" fixes things and I was wondering if it was possible to have Monitor Profile Switcher automatically detect displays before trying to switch or something.
I'm using the predecessor of the G9 myself and have also observed similar issues. However, in my experience it's rather windows that gets completely confused and is really struggling to work with the monitor. When not in PBP I always had huge trouble with window sending the signal to the wrong monitor/cable so that I had to switch inputs in the monitor all the time. Non related to the profile switcher but still very annoying and the reason why I stopped using PBP and just disconnected the second cable.
Regarding your problem I will have to see if there is any API to force windows to do a complete monitor refresh. Then it might be possible to implement, but I have not yet heard of any such API call.
