6 years ago Hey,
Actually, your problem might end up being very helpful as I can see traces of #11, #6 and #2.
I just wrote a small program to dump current system settings and configuration to help me know the situation a little better. Steps to follow:
- Download the HeliosDisplayManagement.Reporting.zip file.
- Extract it to the desktop. (or somewhere with write access for your user account)
- Execute the program and wait for it to end, then press Enter to exit.
- This will generate a log file right next to the program, rename this newly created log file from "HeliosDisplayManagement.Reporting.XXXXX.log" to a meaningful name, for example: "DisabledSurround.log" or "AllMonitorsExtended.log" so I know what the log is about.
- Switch to other modes (using Windows Control Panel and NVidia Control Panel) and repeat these steps.
At the end of this process, you should have multiple ".log" files each generated while your system was in a correct mode. I need this information as I need to follow the program's logic based on your system while you are in a specific mode. Send these log files to me. Feel free to check the log files for any information you might not want to share with the public.
Also, the source code of this program is now available as a part of this repository, so you can always check the source code or even compile it yourself.

I read a post about the xml file that stores profiles and noticed that I could manually edit them. I added a profile for a single monitor, but cannot switch from my extended multi-monitor configuration to the single or vice versa as Helios thinks that no matter which is in use both are currently active. Also, switching to surround does not enable bezel correction. I attempted to use the edit window to set it, but all of the options are greyed out in the edit window. I am also having an issue with loading the edit screen for profiles when I have any more than one monitor active. It comes up after an extremely long time and causes serious performance issues until it loads (generally takes 1-2 minutes before it finally appears). With just one monitor active, it comes up almost immediately. I am running Windows 7 x64 on an AMD FX 8150 with 32 GB of ram, GTX 1060 and GTX 1070 with 8 monitors (6 x 1080p + 2 x 1280x1024), and an SSD. I'd be happy to help debug this as it's most likely a special case considering my hardware configuration. Thanks for making such a useful application. I couldn't be happier with its functions so far, but the finer details have finally forced me to request your assistance.
