    Set primary display (monitor)

    I want to set the primary display (monitor) to the one which is not the
    primary display (monitor) in this moment.
    I have two displays (monitors).
    Thanks for help.

    I don't know if this can switch the monitors though, but is a good app
    you can use:

    Not possible in powershell - someone asked about this before. Changing
    display settings via p/invoke is an unexpectedly complex process too.
