HP Pavilion All-in-One Desktop PC 24-ca2000i (6L7A7AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

I have an HP Pavilion All-in-One Desktop PC 24-ca2000i  which has an HDMI out and HDMI In port. 

 

When I first setup the device and had an active signal in the HDMI In port as well as the PC on there was a prompt advising what the hotkey is to swap from the inbuilt PC Display the the HDMI In port. I turned it off as remembered what the key combination was but now forgotten the key combination to swap from the All In One in built PC to the HDMI In port acting as a secondary monitor. 

Had a look in the User Guide but nothing jumped out to me. Also tried the On Screen Menu but offered no clues. 

What I am now doing is shutting down the All In One so the HDMI In port becomes active again but its annoying doing this knowing there is hot key to save me shutting down.....

 

Anyone know? I think it was a 4 key combination, it wasn't straightforward. If I find it will write it down so not to loose it!

The key combination to swap from All-In-One to Secondary Monitor is

CTRL+Shift+S+D

 

So someone thought it and to make it memorable use the CTRL+Shift to Switch Display

 

Ironically I found it after posting this request. 

The HP Pavilion I use is the All-in-One Desktop PC 24-ca2000i with an "HDMI In" as well as HDMI out. This enables the PC monitor to be used as a second monitor for another computer which is very handy. I use my work computer with the HDMI In on the HP Pavilion All-in-One and then the HDMI out on the HP Pavilion All-in-One Desktop PC 24-ca2000i to drive another monitor as the second monitor for the All-In-One. This means can run two computers using the same 2 monitors and easily switch between them.
