DisplaySwitch.exe behavior on Windows 11 22H2

Question

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.

Answer 1

happy to say that it was fixed somewhere between 22621 and 25346

Answer 2

I just installed a fresh Windows 11 and I dont have displayswitch.ese in this installation anymore under c:\windows\system32 but I have it on another pc which is also 22h2. how can that be? is there a way to install the exe somehow via windows components?

Answer 3

Can someone please write the code for switching extend and duplicate on Windows 11? This doesn't work:

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

run, DisplaySwitch 2

^2::
run, DisplaySwitch 3
