    Creating a Shortcut for Display Settings


    I am looking for a way to create a Keyboard Shortcut that switches my display setup for Windows 10



    So essentially I am looking for a command/macro/shortcut/bat file that when it's run Screen A becomes the Primary Screen and Screen B becomes the Secondary screen, and an opposite command/macro/shortcut/bat file that when it's run Screen B becomes Primary and Screen A becomes the main

    Do you know of a way to do this without installing additional programs?

    Hi, this tenforums tutorial includes an option to create a shortcut which appears to meet your need.
    Create Display Switch shortcut in Windows 10

    (I searched the tutorials section for you).

    Having created a shortcut you can assign a hotkey.

    Hope that's what you're looking for.

    The easiest way would be a command-line .bat shortcut with a key stroke assignment:
    (lines 2 and 3 differ with your setup)

    Code:
    @echo off
    cd "C:\Windows\System32\nircmd.exe"
    nircmd.exe setprimarydisplay 1
    ... but, you gotta grab NirCmd, if you don't have it.
