Hello everyone! I have a dual setup for my desk and a separate sim rig, previously using two monitors (one for each setup). I used to switch between these monitors with some Python scripts I created, which also adjusted my Hue lights and launched certain programs for simming. However, I've recently added a second monitor to my desk, and now my scripts aren't functioning properly. I used to manage monitor settings with simple scripts (display switch for internal/external), but now I'm looking for a better way to manage my setups. I want to keep both desk monitors on while turning off my sim rig monitor and vice versa. Unfortunately, when I try scripting again, my settings reset, like the rotation and refresh rate. Is there a software solution for this, or would a display port switch be more effective? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

You can press the Windows key + P to bring up the quick display settings, which lets you toggle between extending your display and using just one main device. However, I'm not sure how well this works with three monitors since I've only done it with two. It might be worth a shot!
Thanks for your input! I have a feeling this option is limited to just two monitors. It seems similar to the internal/external display switch I used before.
