#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : Second monitor not detected, or wrong resolution and refresh rate Fix : Force a DisplayPort renegotiation Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/win-hw-monitor Run as : The hardware, then PowerShell Expect : 15 minutes Risk : low Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX DisplayPort or USB-C, especially after sleep or a monitor power cycle. HOW TO UNDO IT Re-import the exported registry keys. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
