Hello,
Unfortunately none of the mentioned possible solutions do not work for me.
Any other idea over what can be done here ?
@Tom Hintermaier did you manage to find a solution for this ?

Hey there,
I have multimonitor environment with 2 monitors (PC and TV) which is working fine on Windows 11.Version 10.0.22621 Build 22621
But with one of the latest update it happend that the displayswitch shortcut WINDOWS+P does not work any longer when the user it not yet logged on/when user is on the lockscreen. When user is logged on the shortcut works perfectly fine. As usage of WIN+P on lockscreen was working fine before (the update?) I am wondering if there is any tweak possibility via gpedit or similar.
Any help highly appreciated as now it is kind of cumbersome to switch to the currently active monitor....
Best regards,
Tom

was some days off therefore I did not have access to my PC. Thanks for the response and the solution proposals. As @Gabriel Cocea already said applies to me as well: none of the solutions works for me unfortunately. Any other idea?
Thanks- Tom
