This system I remote into using RDP switched "main displays" after being disconnected from it.

When I try to go into Windows settings, it says "Display settings can't be changed from a remote session."

There is no "Display" in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\

How does can I change the main display?

    Hello,

    You can refer to the following article to do so:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/clients/rdp-files

    Change the primary display in Settings with the "Selectedmonitors" parameter.
