About this tag
The per monitor detach tag covers discussions about tools and methods for disabling or reattaching individual monitors in a multi-display Windows setup without physically unplugging cables. A recurring theme is the Monarch utility, a third-party open-source tool that changes Windows display topology on demand, allowing users to quickly detach and reattach monitors and save layouts.

Topics include display settings, multi-monitor management, and the potential for Microsoft to integrate similar functionality into PowerToys or Windows itself.
