Windows Display Settings with multiple monitors for home and work

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Carbon X1 that I use both at work and at home. At work I have two 2K Samsung monitors while at home I have a 4K Asus monitor and a 1080p Acer monitor.



The setups are different, with my monitors being above my laptop screen at work and side by side with my laptop at home. Whenever I leave work, shut down Windows, go home, plug in my monitors, and start Windows it's still using my work desktop settings and vice versa. This includes both the resolutions of the screens as well as the positioning. It takes me a minute or two to switch everything to the correct way for that location.



Is there any way to have Windows remember the desktop setting for each monitor setup? I noticed that when I go into Advanced Display Settings it still has my monitors from the other location listed until I unplug everything and plug it back in. It's annoying and would save me a few minutes of frustration every morning and evening.

          How to calibrate 16:9 built-in touch-screen to a 4:3 resolution?

          Image
          up vote 0 down vote favorite I need help with an issue we're facing in a project where we are moving from a Windows-based POS environment to one running on CentOS7. The problem consists of a number of factors, please find the details below: The supplier of our POS application will only deliver an application that is hard-coded to run in a 1024:768 4:3 format. The hardware we are using is a POS unit from HP that has a built-in 16:9 touch-screen. The employees using this solution is not supposed to see nor have access to anything but the POS application.

          QoS: MAC-Priority for clients behind a repeater

          Image
          1 1 I've setup a wireless network using a Linksys-Router (DD-WRT) as an AP and a TP-Link repeater for range extension. To manage bandwith for specific users, I've setup QoS-Rules on the AP (DD-WRT) using MAC-Priority: However the AP shows only the Repeater's MAC and the MACs of users inside the AP-Range. The MAC addresses of users behind the Repeater are not listed : The purple MAC is not listed in the AP-Clientlist. Its related to a device connected via the TP-Link repeater. Q: How can I setup MAC-Priority for repeater-clients? Do I simply add the purple MAC in AP-MAC priority list although it's not listed as a client? I want to setup specific priority instead of giving one priority for all clients behind the repeater by adding the repeater's MAC in the MAC priority list in the AP as ...
