Task scheduler / Resolution change event

Question

_{Wednesday, April 24, 2019 3:28 PM}

Hi,

I am trying to make a task scheduler entry that will run upon screen resolution change...

I am trying to find a way to get this event, but the list is extensive...

I have not found the particular event id number that is triggered when a screen resolution change is made.

Thank you for your help !

Hi,

I didn't find any information about how to use task schedule to monitor the changes. 

The events: DisplaySettingsChanged and DisplaySettingsChanging.

DisplaySettingsChanged is raised after the screen resolution has been changed in the Control Panel utility or via some other software. DisplaySettingsChanging runs slightly earlier, as the display details are being modified.

The last two links help us how to monitor these events.

Best regards,

Yilia
