Windows fought my monitors and sound for 10 years. The AI fixed it in an afternoon.

His ultrawide and BenQ monitors plus a 7.1 receiver gave Windows a decade of phantom displays, lost windows, G-Sync stutter and audio sent to the wrong place. He explained the problems to the AI, which scanned his connected devices and log files, found problems he did not know about, and built him a utility with display and audio modes on hotkeys that keeps Dolby Atmos on and his mic volume right.

How it works

  1. Explains his setup problems in a short paragraph and asks for an app outline
  2. Opus scans his connected devices and log files and proposes fixes, including a 720p phantom display and a hotkey to pull lost windows to his cursor
  3. It builds the utility with display and audio modes
  4. It also sets up a startup task so his GPU overclock tool opens, applies its settings and closes

Why it’s worth knowing

While reading his machine it found things he never knew, like his receiver’s IP address and that his monitor could switch inputs from the PC.
