I'm looking for advice on how to bypass the restrictions in the Display Color Calibration Wizard (DCCW). I want to run scripts using AutoHotkey or .bat files to navigate through the pages without manual input. I've tried making a script to simulate pressing the 'Next' button multiple times, but it seems DCCW has automation protections due to its importance within Windows. Ideally, I'd like to set this up as a simple start menu icon. My latest script attempts to move the mouse to click the 'Next' button, but it hasn't been successful. If anyone has ideas on potential workarounds, that would be great! I've also heard that some gaming software can flag AutoHotkey as a cheat, so I'm considering switching to a batch file instead.

Sounds like you're running into what's called an XY problem. Instead of just trying to click through the wizard, what's your end goal? If you can clarify what steps you need the script to perform, there might be better ways to achieve what you want without hitting those restrictions.
The blocks in DCCW are there for a reason. If you're looking to bypass them, make sure to file a bug report if you find something that works—I think the developers would want to know!
Yeah, it's frustrating when you're just trying to streamline a process and hit walls instead.
