[Q] Desktop shortcut to connect to a SPECIFIC wireless display

Hey guys! Windows 10 1909 here.

Is there anything I can do to make a shortcut or a batch file that allows me to stream my Surface Go screen on my Samsung TV automatically without the need to click on the tv tab that opens on the right?

I mean, I have already created a shortcut to this:

%windir%\explorer.exe ms-settings-connectabledevices:devicediscovery

I would like to know if I can add the part that lets the table connect straight to the TV without additional clicks.

The best result would be just one click to use my tv as the ONLY external monitor to save some battery, since I would be controlling everything with the Surface keyboard.

Thanks :)

Hi, you can write a small script with Autohotkey (free) that can do this for you. Well supported, documented.

I did one recently for someone- it would look something like this (modify as appropriate):

run, %windir%\explorer.exe ms-settings-connectabledevices:devicediscovery
sleep, 1000
send, {tab}
send, {Enter}

Put those lines in a text file, change the extension to .ahk and with Autohotkey installed, simply double click it.

You can do this manually to check- use open the Action Centre dialogue, then use the tab and Enter keys to navigate.
To create a shortcut, rt click the xxx.ahk file, click compile. The create a shortcut to the .exe you've created.

Thank you mate! :)

In case there should be more than one TV available, the script would choose the first on the list. Am I right?
