    How to enable TV display with command line?


    Hi,


    I have two monitors and one TV connected to same computer with Windows 10. I know I can choose to extend or duplicate, or not, to second screen doing WIN + P, but that doesn't work for the TV as it is a third display.


    I would really like a shortcut so I dont have to open display setting each time I want to use the TV as display.


    My computer is a laptop with Intel HD 630 + Nvidia GT 1050 Ti but Im pretty sure it only uses the HD 630 normally. It also has an external graphics card usb hub using DisplayLink drivers. TV is connected to HDMI on laptop while two monitors are connected via the external hub. The TV is a Samsung smart TV.


    With the freeware MultiMonitorTool it's quite easy to make a command line command that I can save as a shortcut that disables the TV:



    MultiMonitorTool.exe /disable 5


    This disables the display perfectly just as I want. 5 being the monitor number of the TV


    Unfortunately the TV display can not be enabled again via command line using MultiMonitorTool for some reason using:



    MultiMonitorTool.exe /enable 5


    If I run the enable command nothing happens.

    When making tests on other two monitors I can enable them with this command so its a problem that is specific for the TV


    If I manually open Windows display settings I can select the display, scroll down and choose "Extend to this display" to enable it.



    My question is, why doesnt it work to enable the TV and what can I do to enable it via command line instead of having to go to settings each time?

    :)

    GPU-Z what command line parameter ?

    Suggestion: /? (-?) and /help (-help) command-line arguments to show a list of all possible arguments in a small window. *Smile How to enable TV display with command line? :)
