Der #hdmiDoctor soll es richten.

#Windows11 vergisst ja mit Intel-Mobile-Grafik absichtlich seine Bildschirm-Einstellungen auf dem #HDMI-Ausgang, was in der #Veranstaltungstechnik zu Schreikrampfneigung führt, weil mitunter gazillionisch euronisch teure LED-Walls nicht mehr mit Windows funktionieren.

Der #DrHDMI von #HdFury soll das beheben, ein #EdidManager. Erstmal installiere ich auf #Windows10 einen Treiber für irgendwas mit USB und dann das #EdidUtility (gibt's für XP, aber nicht für 11…). Tjaa, was soll ich sagen, also diese Form der Bildschirmeinstellungen ist glasklar für den Ottonormal-Techniker, oder?

Für 69€ ist dieses Produkt erstaunlich vollschrottig, aber es gibt kaum was anderes, das überhaupt 50Hz kann.

Die eingespeicherten #EDID Presets sind alle 60Hz, aber immerhin 480p und 720p, ich brauch aber 1080p50, 1080p30, 1080p25 und… achso halt, es gibt nur zwei frei belegbare Speicherplätze. Sorry Baby…

@nielso Amongst other problems, we once had a show all but ruined because the #Windows11 Nagscreen hat opened in the Background and the show's intro wouldn't play.

And now it even requires a workaround to … use a screen?

I know, using #FreeSoftware has it's own drawbacks but none of them are these kinds of completely unnessessary pitfalls.

#Windows is very obviously not meant for professional usage. Why do so many people insist it is?

Well, you can apparently download some tool by Intel that allows you to have fixed graphics settings like in the old days of Windows 10.

However, I often have to connect laptops of the client, and usually their users don't have admin access to their own machine, so everything must work directly and driverless, so I only use class-compliant USB gear, and HDMI – which reminds me of… using Linux. Except for… it works on Linux.

Recently we had to set up a timer on a mobile phone and move the mouse every X minutes, because… the client did not have permission to deactivate the screen lock which would switch on after 15 minutes.

But in the business world, Microsoft is as given as the rotation of the earth.

My frustration with this is that business clients do not even consider that all of these problems are actually Windows problems. For them, it's #EventTech problems that they want solved by… me. And if I fail, they blame… me. Not Windows.
