📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses creating a startup script for Windows (7-10) to detect connected displays, open a web browser fullscreen on a specific display (like a TV via HDMI), and open a specific user profile. The original poster is trying to achieve this with Chrome or Opera but faces issues with fullscreen options. A responder suggests that configuring the browser directly with command-line switches, such as Chrome’s '--kiosk' mode, can accomplish these goals without a separate script. Overall, the advice leans toward using browser command-line options for fullscreen display setups.

Hi, is it possible to make a startup script (win 7-10) doing the following:

0. Script starts with the OS.
1. Detects connected to PC displays (I use a TV display, hdmi).
2. Opens a web browser on TV (f.ex. display 1) FULL screen mode.
3. The browser starts with a particular user profile (f.ex. chrome google account)

I tried smth with chrome (--start-fullscreen ), but it does not work.


Opera is also ok.

Regards - Emil

You don't need a script you can just specific whichever browser you want and supplied the proper command line switches. You just need to look at the browser support page. For example to start Chrome in kiosk mode to google.com it would be
Code: 
<pathtochrome>\Chrome.exe  with the arguments --kiosk https://google.com --guest
