[Bug]: Virtual Display has same id as physical monitor

[swalters9797]

Which OS?

Win11 Home

Which release?

24H2

Describe the bug

I am using the monitor profile switcher, but it is assigning the same ID to the virtual display as it is other monitors. I am unsure if this is an issue with monitor switcher, windows or the virtual display.

Steps to reproduce

1. .\MonitorSwitcher.exe -save:Primary.xml
2. Open Primary.xml and check targetinfo and modeinfo Ids.

Expected behavior

Virtual driver should have unique ids from physical monitors.

Well, I'm going to be frank. There hasn't been much development of the software since 2020 as far as i can see. They are mentioning in wiki that some Nvidia and AMD extra functions isn't working, and that USB displays are at best experimental. Most USB display devices(non usb-c) needs a driver, Which often is based in the same iddcx API that VDD is based on. There is an unique value assign to each display, called an instance name which I doubt that MonitorSwitcher is looking for:
DISPLAY\MTT1337\1&28a6823a&1f&UID256 and for a second VD DISPLAY\MTT1337\1&28a6823a&1f&UID257.....

I hope this helps you.
