"Force duplicate display"(?) in Windows #10

Open Psotas opened 10 months ago

Psotas commented 10 months ago

CASE: After Windows update, Windows set DP as main screen, and HDMI as secondary screen. This means that you cannot see, for example, the login window.

POTENTIAL PROBLEMS: It is possible that tests will fail via PiKVM because not everything will be displayed on the HDMI screen.

POTENTIAL SOLUTION: Force screen duplication. E.g. this way: https://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows-7/180779-force-duplicate-displays-startup-2.html#post1681525 or some better way.

Would pressing Win+P (one or a couple of times) work around this issue?

Yes, I manually switched to duplication and display is still duplicate after restarts.

Which test can fail because of that? We do not rely on the screen for tests AFAIK.

Indeed, the problem occurred when I was configuring the system. It is possible that this has no impact on testing. So, if you think there is no point in adding this function to the installer, you can close the issue.
