Hello everyone!

I'm excited to introduce ResolutionChanger, a command-line utility designed to help you manage and modify display settings on Windows systems efficiently. Whether you're a power user looking to automate display settings or someone who needs to frequently switch between different resolutions, this tool has you covered.

Features

ResolutionChanger offers a variety of features to make managing your display settings straightforward and hassle-free:

• List Monitors and Settings: Quickly display all connected monitors along with their current resolution, color depth, and refresh rate.
• Set Resolution, Color Depth, and Refresh Rate: Adjust the display settings of any connected monitor, including resolution, color depth (bits per pixel), and refresh rate.
• List Available Display Modes: See all possible display modes (combinations of resolution, color depth, and refresh rate) for a selected monitor.
• Error Handling: Provides detailed error messages to help you troubleshoot any issues during the execution of commands.
• Efficient Checks: Automatically skips redundant settings changes, saving time and avoiding unnecessary operations.

How It Works

ResolutionChanger leverages the Windows API to interact with connected displays, allowing you to query and set display settings programmatically. It offers a simple command-line interface, making it perfect for use in scripts or batch files for automating display configuration tasks.

System Requirements

ResolutionChanger is compatible with:

• Windows 2000 and later versions
• 32-bit and 64-bit architectures
• Requires no external dependencies – fully self-contained.

Download and Installation

You can download the latest version of ResolutionChanger from the link below:

https://github.com/GeorgeK1ng/ResolutionChanger/releases

To install, simply extract the archive and run the appropriate executable (x86 for 32-bit systems or x64 for 64-bit systems).

For easier access from any command prompt, consider copying the executable to the C:\Windows\System32 directory. This allows you to run ResolutionChanger.exe from any location without specifying the full path.

@George King

Thanks for this tool !

Same question that for ListDisk, can you provide a SSE only release of ResolutionChanger ?

I tried ResolutionChanger today and it works like a charm.

Just a downside, I can get a slightly different result between ResolutionChanger and Display Changer (dccmd):
