Let me know how that works for you.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/auto-change-monitor-profile-not-working/?ID=cd3ad1fe-fba9-450a-8bc1-ce535d2c0124#19 Mon, 13 Dec 2021 11:09:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/auto-change-monitor-profile-not-working/?ID=cd3ad1fe-fba9-450a-8bc1-ce535d2c0124#19 DisplayFusion Sorry, I lied. I only have two functions going. They are the ones you described above. One for if 2 monitors are connected, one for if 3 monitors are connected. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/auto-change-monitor-profile-not-working/?ID=cd3ad1fe-fba9-450a-8bc1-ce535d2c0124#18 Fri, 10 Dec 2021 16:34:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/auto-change-monitor-profile-not-working/?ID=cd3ad1fe-fba9-450a-8bc1-ce535d2c0124#18 DisplayFusion Hi Kyle,

I have a similar problem where I switch between 2 & 3 monitors often. I have two scripts to detect the # of monitors and it seems to work. I didn't know if this is right, but I set 2 triggers like you mentioned above, 1 for each script. But I still get an error. Is there a better way to do this? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/auto-change-monitor-profile-not-working/?ID=cd3ad1fe-fba9-450a-8bc1-ce535d2c0124#14 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 20:18:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/auto-change-monitor-profile-not-working/?ID=cd3ad1fe-fba9-450a-8bc1-ce535d2c0124#14 DisplayFusion Hello,

Can you send me over 2 copies of your troubleshoot info, one with it working, and one when it's not?

Could you send me a copy of your troubleshooting info when you've plugged, or unplugged the monitor, but the profile hasn't loaded? Here are the steps:

• Open the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
• Click the "Export Info to File" button
• Reply with the file attached

yes, I have and when manualy change display profile, window positions are changed. After I connect/disconnect external monitor and open profile change menu, it is like not profile is selected. After I select profile, it is correctly visible, which profile is currently select.

Thanks. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/auto-change-monitor-profile-not-working/?ID=cd3ad1fe-fba9-450a-8bc1-ce535d2c0124#8 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 18:31:04 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/auto-change-monitor-profile-not-working/?ID=cd3ad1fe-fba9-450a-8bc1-ce535d2c0124#8 DisplayFusion Hello,

It looks like the function itself is working. Do you have a window position profile attached to your monitor profile?

What I need is to change profile/apps windows sizeand positions after connecting external monitor and after disconnecting.

If you open up the monitor configuration window, is your profile being detected in the top left?

I have same configuration and same problem, but function does not work. I use latest beta 4 and auto change of profile, while attach external monitor (and notebook is closed) and detach external monitor with only internal notebook display is turned on not work. I try to delete profile and create asi new, but without changes.

It is problem of beta?

Thans. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/auto-change-monitor-profile-not-working/?ID=cd3ad1fe-fba9-450a-8bc1-ce535d2c0124#2 Wed, 03 Jun 2020 19:45:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/auto-change-monitor-profile-not-working/?ID=cd3ad1fe-fba9-450a-8bc1-ce535d2c0124#2 DisplayFusion There isn't a built-in way to do this automatically, as Windows is actually supposed to handle remembering which monitors are enabled when they're disconnected and reconnected.

However, you can do this with a combination of a Trigger rule and scripted function:

• On the Settings > Functions tab, click Scripted Function > Download Scripted
• Download this one: Load Monitor Profile if 2 monitors are connected
• On line 9 of that function, set your Monitor Profile name
• Click OK to save the function, and Apply in the main settings window
• Add a new Trigger rule that uses the "Monitor Profile Changed" event, and runs that Scripted Function
• Apply the settings and test it out

Hope that helps! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/auto-change-monitor-profile-not-working/?ID=cd3ad1fe-fba9-450a-8bc1-ce535d2c0124 Wed, 03 Jun 2020 14:04:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/auto-change-monitor-profile-not-working/?ID=cd3ad1fe-fba9-450a-8bc1-ce535d2c0124 DisplayFusion Hi,

I think this should work, but I'm not sure if I haven't configured something.

I have two Monitor Profiles: Laptop and UW Monitor. Laptop is basically just when I have no monitor hooked up, it's a single window profile as if DisplayFusion wasn't installed.

UW Monitor is when I plug my laptop into my ultrawide via HDMI, I want DisplayFusion to automatically change to that Monitor Profile and ideal arrange my open windows the way I normally arrange them.

I don't have any triggers setup because I didn't see an event for "monitor detected/found". Am I missing a step?

Thanks,
-Steve ]]>
