From Newsgroup: alt.comp.os.windows-11

I have installed a new Windows 11 computer for a friend who also wanted
to keep his old Windows 10 computer going as well, so I set up a KVM
switch between the two so he would not need duplicate monitor, keyboard,
and mouse.

Problem is that even after explaining it dozens of times that he
has to switch over to the computer he is turning on, he simply
does not grok the idea that Windows has to "see" the monitor to
properly set the display resolution. So I'm getting regular calls
about "everything is stretched out on the screen" because the
resolution when a monitor is not detected has been set to a basic
1024x768.

Is there a way to change the default resolution that Windows uses
when it does not detect a monitor at boot time? I've searched for
answers on this but have not come up with anything yet.

It should be possible to write a batch using free <https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/multi_monitor_tool.html> to turn on/off a monitor as desired along with settings instead of a KVM switch. Then
provide shortcuts to select desired monitor leaving bot connected at all
times

Older OSes did something similar, so the mechanism has
been there for a lot of years.

The Microsoft Basic Display Adapter driver does not need such help,
as it is only going to output 1024x768. While I have seen other VESA-style values used (nothing 16:9, could be 5:4 or 4:3 aspect ratios), it's an exception
for MBDA to deliver higher than 1024x768.

If you use this utility, it can read EDID from the monitor using
the "Real Time" entries. You may not care particularly about the
canned entries already stored in the OS. But the "Real Time" entries
prove that the EDID is readable and "exists". (On Linux, readedid
and friends do something similar.)

https://entechtaiwan.com/util/moninfo.shtm

Presumably, there is some Ring3 access to the hardware by some means.
it's probably not a "giveio.sys" can of worms.

All this is doing so far, is seeing if the ingredients of a good
time are present. Or if some plumbing is broken. We haven't
fixed or repaired anything here.

The dev at entechtaiwan, knew where all the registry entries
for this stuff were located, and they're not all stored in
the same place. They used to sell a utility that could custom-program resolutions on devices such as projectors (which did not have EDID),
and this was using the interface on the driver that also supported custom-programmed resolutions. But today, some of the drivers have
removed that feature, which was "too convenient". And if you were
all the time switching monitors, such a feature is unlikely to help
you. Such features are for static configurations where you don't plan
on changing hardware on the fly. It would allow that VGA connector
on your laptop, to run that non-PNP projector you owned.

Might be too late if you've already bought the KVM, but you need a KVM
that does EDID emulation, so the machine gets told the monitor's
resolution, even though it's not [yet] connected.

OT for the OP, but how I wish my KVM was capable of knowing which laptop
I am looking at and therefore where to send keystrokes :-)

Roger, in the past I've booted Win-7 and various version of Linux on the
one computer, just at boot-up time you get a Menu to allow you to select
which OS you want to boot .... on the one computer with the one monitor.

Can you not do a similar set-up for Win-10 and Win-11 on the one
computer .... using the one monitor??

That part is the monitor driver, and the monitor driver installs at
least one Registry entry that defines "Native Resolution".

For fun, I tried to get my USB video capture device running.

Video card GTX 1650 (low end)
| |
| |
HDMI DP
| | +----> HDMI monitor could run here.
4K Acer v | No monitor connected while experimenting
Monitor VidCap
|
v
USB3 vid stream (125MB/sec = 1920x1080 & 60FPS)

I ran Moninfo "RealTime" on the setup. Both devices in this
application of Moninfo are showing EDID information and multiple
resolutions. The video capture device, my guess is it presented this entry:

1680 x 1050p at 60Hz - VESA STD

and that is why my capture from the device has the wrong aspect ratio :-) Great.

Might be too late if you've already bought the KVM, but you need a KVM
that does EDID emulation, so the machine gets told the monitor's
resolution, even though it's not [yet] connected.

Never thought about that since I've never had a problem understanding
the simple idea of just switching to the monitor at boot time.

My friend already bought a KVM but it was cheap and probably still
within the Amazon return period. So I'll run the idea by him. (I just
had him get the same one that I use thinking it would make support
simpler. D'oh!)

Can you not do a similar set-up for Win-10 and Win-11 on the one
computer .... using the one monitor??

The idea is to ultimately phase out the old computer which is horribly
slow and limited. (It's a windows 8 vintage Celeron with 4GB memory
and mechanical drive.) But for now it's his "safe space".

I don't think he could handle a dual-boot environment, let alone making
a virtual machine out of the old system which is really what would be
needed to keep it *exactly* the same. (The most minor differences are
major stumbling blocks.)
