Can't run a .bat file that interacts with DisplaySwitch.exe #109
Description
I am trying to run:
@echo off
start "" "%windir%\System32\DisplaySwitch.exe" /external
This .bat works when I run it myself (switches to 1 monitor). However, when I run it through IFTTT/ACC it gives me an error in the run box that Windows cannot find displayswitcher.exe.
Hardware & software info (please complete the following information):
- [Version of Windows] Windows 11 Beta
- [Version of AssistantComputerControl] 1.4.4

Getting same issue, only for exe seemingly. not txt or anything.
Sorry for the super late reply. Doing further testing.

Ok, so the issue seems to be 32 vs 64 bit, as explained here; https://stackoverflow.com/a/38678712/4880538
And
DisplaySwitch.exedoesn't exist in the 64 bit space, I've also confirmed this in the code. Working on seeing if there's some way to fix it.Added "display_switch" action + no prefer 32 bit

Issue seemingly fixed by disabling the "Prefer 32 bit" option in visual studios. I also added the action
display_switchso a custom batch file isn't needed, but it's native :) More info on that coming soon.(The following parameters can be used; nothing to just show the display switcher, so you can click yourself, or
"external", "internal", "extend", "clone"to automatically trigger the given mode)AlbertMN commentedon Oct 10, 2021
@SullieLore test version with the proposed fix here; #115

Thanks for working on this! Great to hear the command is native now, as that is a better solution than messing with workarounds.
