.SYNOPSIS
|
|
A comprehensive script to manage the Virtual Display Driver.
|
|
It can install, uninstall, enable, disable, toggle, and check the status of the driver.
|
|
|
|
.DESCRIPTION
|
|
This script handles the full lifecycle of the Virtual Display Driver.
|
|
- If no action is specified, it interactively prompts the user to select one.
|
|
- For install/uninstall, it automatically resolves the correct version of Microsoft's DevCon utility using a nearest-build matching algorithm for maximum compatibility.
|
|
- For enable/disable/toggle/status, it uses fast, built-in PowerShell commands.
|
|
- It requires Administrator privileges and will self-elevate if needed by re-launching in a new window.
|
|
- All temporary files are automatically cleaned up unless in Verbose mode for diagnostics.
|
|
|
|
.PARAMETER Action
|
|
Specifies the operation to perform. If omitted, the script will prompt for a selection.
|
|
|
|
.PARAMETER DriverVersion
|
|
Used only with the 'install' action to specify a version of the Virtual Display Driver, otherwise defaults to 'latest'.
|
|
|
|
.PARAMETER Json
|
|
If present, all output will be in JSON format for easy parsing by other programs.
|
|
|
|
.PARAMETER Silent
|
|
If present, the script will close automatically without prompting for a key press. By default, the script will pause for review before closing.
|
|
|
|
.PARAMETER Verbose
|
|
If present, prints detailed diagnostic information and prevents the temporary folder from being deleted for inspection. Provided by [CmdletBinding()].
|
|
|
|
.EXAMPLE
|
|
# --- USAGE WITHIN A POWERSHELL CONSOLE ---
|
|
|
|
# Run without an action to get an interactive menu. The window will pause when finished.
|
|
.\virtual-driver-manager.ps1
|
|
|
|
# Install the driver and pause for review afterwards (default behavior).
|
|
.\virtual-driver-manager.ps1 -Action install
|
|
|
|
# Uninstall the driver and close the window automatically.
|
|
.\virtual-driver-manager.ps1 -Action uninstall -Silent
|
|
|
|
.EXAMPLE
|
|
# --- USAGE FROM CMD.EXE OR ANOTHER PROCESS ---
|
|
|
|
# Check driver status and get JSON output for automation (no pause).
|
|
powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\virtual-driver-manager.ps1 -Action status -Json
|
|
|
|
# Enable the driver and have the window close automatically.
|
|
