  • I’d suggest figuring out the Windows casting issue. My TV is hardwired to the network, so maybe that helps.

    Here’s a script for a mode switcher. Works great using psexe to wrap it in an executable.

    Do {
        CLS
        $Mode = Read-Host "`r`n(W)ork, (P)lay, (M)ovie?"
        } until ( 'w', 'p', 'm' -contains $Mode) 
    
    if ($Mode -eq "w"){
    # Work Mode
    displayswitch.exe /extend
    # Display taskbar and restart Explorer
    $p='HKCU:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3';$v=(Get-ItemProperty -Path $p).Settings;$v[8]=2;&Set-ItemProperty -Path $p -Name Settings -Value $v;&Stop-Process -f -ProcessName explorer
        }
    
    if ($Mode -eq "p"){
    # Play Mode
    displayswitch.exe /external
    # Display taskbar and restart Explorer
    $p='HKCU:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3';$v=(Get-ItemProperty -Path $p).Settings;$v[8]=2;&Set-ItemProperty -Path $p -Name Settings -Value $v;&Stop-Process -f -ProcessName explorer
        }
    
    if ($Mode -eq "m"){
    # Movie Mode
    displayswitch.exe /internal
    #Hide taskbar and restart Explorer
    $p='HKCU:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3';$v=(Get-ItemProperty -Path $p).Settings;$v[8]=3;&Set-ItemProperty -Path $p -Name Settings -Value $v;&Stop-Process -f -ProcessName explorer
        }
