Hello, previously I made a post on how to get the Windows 7 display switcher on newer Windows versions. This post is about the Windows 8.1 display switcher, as it has slightly different instructions Firstly, get DisplaySwitch.exe and it's MUI Put them to C:\Windows and C:\Windows\en-us respectively Next, make an AutoHotkey script with the following contents to redirect the Windows + P shortcut to the Windows 8.1 version
#Persistent
#SingleInstance
#NoTrayIcon
#p::
Run "C:\Windows\DisplaySwitch.exe"Compile it, and add it as an startup application
The reason you need to do this is that because unlike the Windows 7 display switcher, the Windows 8.1 one refuses to run if it has replaced the Windows 10 version

You don't need to do this. Just use Windows 10 1507 Display Switcher. It is almost the same as 8.1 version and you can just replace it with the original version to launch it. I included files for en-US locale in attachments. Attachments:1507winp.zip (132.48 KB)
