Where does DDU read displays from?

Post by beeit »

Hello,

I used DDU for the first time. Upon opening, it found my normal display, and 843 instances of 'Microsoft Remote Display Adapter'. This does not surprise me, as I was developing some virtual display programs. So I am sure there are a lot of stale IDs. I deleted the normal registry key areas, but DDU still shows them. They appear no where else in queries or Device Manager.

Code: Select all

GPU #0844 - Detected: Microsoft Remote Display Adapter 
GPU DeviceId: RpIdd_IndirectDisplay 
Detected Driver Version(s): 10.0.26100.5074 
INF: rdpidd.inf 
INF Section: RdpIdd_Install.NT
So I'm wondering. Where does DDU search that it is picking these up? I would like to clean this up on my system.

Thank you
