Running into this same issue after I updated to 22H2......
DisplaySwitch.exe behavior on Windows 11 22H2
I have two displays connected to my PC, running Windows 11 Home. I use just the primary display most of the time but need to switch on my secondary display whenever I'm running a VM or need more screen estate.
For years, I've used DisplaySwitch.exe in conjunction with AutoHotKey to quickly switch between different display configurations. Here's the relevant snippet of my configuration:
^!1::
; Ctrl+Alt+1 = Display 1
Run, %A_WinDir%\System32\DisplaySwitch.exe /internal
return
^!2::
; Ctrl+Alt+2 = Display 2
Run, %A_WinDir%\System32\DisplaySwitch.exe /external
return
^!3::
; Ctrl+Alt+3 = Display 1+2
Run, %A_WinDir%\System32\DisplaySwitch.exe /extend
return
Today, I installed the 22H2 (build 22621.521) update and suddenly, those shortcuts stopped working. Now, pressing any of those key combinations pops up the Project window:
Apparently, DisplaySwitch.exe no longer accepts the /internal, /external and /extend switches.
Is there an alternative method to get this working again?
Thanks for your time.

The shortcut solution with hotkeys seems to provide an alternative solution for the time being. -
