How to Add a Project Display context menu in Windows 10


Display Switch is used to change the presentation mode of the main display of your Windows 10 PC to project on either the PC screen only, duplicate on second display, extend across all displays, or second screen only.

Projection Mode Description
PC screen only Only the current main display is enabled. All other connected displays will be disabled. (When you're connected to a wireless projector, this option changes to Disconnect.)
Duplicate The main display will be mirrored on the second display.
Extend (default) The main display is extended across the all connected display screens and allows you to have a desktop that spans them.
Second screen only The current main display will be disabled. All other connected displays will remain enabled with the second screen used as your new main display.

Miracast is a wireless technology your PC, laptop, or tablet can use to connect to a wireless display to project your screen to wireless TVs, projectors, and streaming media players that also support Miracast. You can use this to share what you’re doing on your PC, present a slide show, or even play your favorite game on a larger screen.

This tutorial will show you how to add or remove Project Display to the desktop context menu for all users in Windows 10.
