Hej from Sweden,
I am trying out the code from the reference post: Powershell script to change screen Orientation
The script works. The goal is to make sure that the rotation is either landscape - default or portrait 90 degrees clockwise.
I need to either change the current code to just allow 2 values or make sure that the script only runs once.
Either way, I need to know where the registry keys are stored for the CDS_UPDATEREGISTRY. Although I cannot figure out where in the registry the value change for each rotation are stored in the registry?
Does anyone by any chance know where the values are stores?
Code:
Function Set-ScreenResolutionAndOrientation {
<#
.Synopsis
Sets the Screen Resolution of the primary monitor
.Description
Uses Pinvoke and ChangeDisplaySettings Win32API to make the change

By adding the values 0, 1, 2, 3 as a parameter in ChangeResolution(0) the function will enable the script to define the portrait or landscape orientation.
