I'd like to make sure a specific monitor profile is active every time windows starts up. The only way I can think of to achieve this would be loading the desired profile before windows shuts down.

Use case: I have dual monitors plus a TV connected to my PC. I either use the monitors or the TV, but rarely both. When using the TV I have the monitors disabled and when I'm using the monitors I have the TV disabled. If I'm playing on the couch/TV and shut down the PC I'd like it to load the monitor profile so I don't have to turn my tv on to log in. Ideally on a restart it would retain the current profile.

If you have DisplayFusion set to start with Windows, you can create a trigger in DisplayFusion that uses the "DisplayFusion Starts" event, and then add an action to load your desired profile. This should load automatically each time you start Windows.

Hope that helps!

Would that run before you've logged in to your Windows profile though? I would essentially like to have Display Fusion reset to a monitor profile every time I shutdown or restart the computer. If it changes the monitor profile on startup, you would need to login (i.e. turn on the TV and login there or blindfold enter the password without seeing the login prompt on the computer screen) right?

Yeah that wouldn't run before you login, there isn't a way to do that unfortunately.

Untested, but this could might help you.

Running a command or script at computer shutdown involves configuring the operating system to execute your desired command before the shutdown process completes.

Using Group Policy:

Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
Type gpedit.msc and press Enter to open the Local Group Policy Editor.
Navigate to Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Scripts (Startup/Shutdown).
Double-click on "Shutdown" to open the "Shutdown Properties" window.
Click the "Add..." button and browse to select your script or command.
Click "OK" to close the windows and apply the policy.


Using Registry Editor:

Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
Type regedit and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy\Scripts\Shutdown.
Right-click in the right pane, select "New" -> "String Value" and give it a name like "ScriptName".
Double-click the newly created value and enter the full path to your script or command as its data.


This way you might be able to change the display profile, using a batch script or some thing like that.

Cheers
Rex
