Problem - Office pc

In april 2019, I have a similar problem with my Office pc. Whenever the pc restarts, the display is wrong (too high). For this problem, the SetScreenResolution.ps1 script works as desired.

I made an OsSetDisplay.ps1 script that calls the SetScreenResolution.ps1 twice, once setting the resolution to 1440x900, then back to 1680x1050, and added a shortcut to this script to the Startup folder:

C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -command "& { . C:\Tools\OS\SetScreenResolution.ps1; Set-ScreenResolution -Width 1440 -Height 900 }"
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -command "& { . C:\Tools\OS\SetScreenResolution.ps1; Set-ScreenResolution -Width 1680 -Height 1050 }"

Win10 1709

No longer needed, since I bought a new monitor - no longer a tv, used as a monitor (SilverCrest HOME TECH LCD-TV 60cm schermdiagonaal, serienr. F47012000248), but a plain vanilla pc monitor: LG 27MP38VQ!

Solution [solved] - win10 1703

setdisplay.bat:

rem Use %SendKeys% to send keys to the keyboard buffer
set SendKeys=CScript //nologo //E:JScript "%~F0"
%windir%\System32\DisplaySwitch.exe /clone
REM ping -n 5 -w 1 127.0.0.1 > NUL
ping -n 2 -w 1 127.0.0.1 > NUL
%SendKeys% "echo off{ENTER}"
%windir%\System32\DisplaySwitch.exe /external
REM ping -n 5 -w 1 127.0.0.1 > NUL
ping -n 2 -w 1 127.0.0.1 > NUL
%SendKeys% "echo off{ENTER}"

Solution [solved] - win10 1607

Create the following shortcut in Windows 10:

%windir%\System32\DisplaySwitch.exe /external

This results in the "Second screen only" projection, but as side effect, the right display settings are detected!

Solution [not ok]

See: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/2a631d72-206d-4036-a3f2-2e150f297515:

Copy the following PowerShell -script to a folder of your choice (e.g. C:\Windows\System32):
SetScreenResolution.ps1

Create a shortcut to that PowerShell -script:

C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -command "& { . C:\Windows\System32\SetScreenResolution.ps1; Set-ScreenResolution -Width 1920 -Height 1080 }"
