But this seems to have fixed the issue of Windows reassigning monitor Id's. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/laptop-wdocking-station-windows-11-keeps-changing-monitor-numbers/?ID=2ccac7d5-0c93-4ba9-93fd-521681e2a10c#3 Wed, 23 Feb 2022 19:51:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/laptop-wdocking-station-windows-11-keeps-changing-monitor-numbers/?ID=2ccac7d5-0c93-4ba9-93fd-521681e2a10c#3 DisplayFusion Thanks, I'll try that! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/laptop-wdocking-station-windows-11-keeps-changing-monitor-numbers/?ID=2ccac7d5-0c93-4ba9-93fd-521681e2a10c#2 Wed, 23 Feb 2022 19:09:38 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/laptop-wdocking-station-windows-11-keeps-changing-monitor-numbers/?ID=2ccac7d5-0c93-4ba9-93fd-521681e2a10c#2 DisplayFusion You can create a trigger in the DisplayFusion settings that uses the "DisplayFusion Starts" event, and then add the function to load your monitor profile.

Hope that helps! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/laptop-wdocking-station-windows-11-keeps-changing-monitor-numbers/?ID=2ccac7d5-0c93-4ba9-93fd-521681e2a10c Tue, 22 Feb 2022 21:05:46 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/laptop-wdocking-station-windows-11-keeps-changing-monitor-numbers/?ID=2ccac7d5-0c93-4ba9-93fd-521681e2a10c DisplayFusion My daily driver is a laptop connected to a Thunderbolt dock, to which I have my two monitors connected via HDMI. It seems like almost every other day, Windows 11 decides to change the monitor numbers (so if #2 was on the left and #3 was on the right, now #2 is on the right and #3 is on the left) which means my monitor profile in DisplayFusion doesn't trigger since the monitor setup doesn't match.

I'm guessing this is a Win11 bug, or something related to the docking station, but is there a way to force load a monitor profile at boot? ]]>
