ScreenGenie: adaptive display intelligence

Windows 11 Flexible workplaces

ScreenGenie turns monitor setup into an automated, ergonomic and measurable workplace experience.

QWhat is ScreenGenie?

ScreenGenie is adaptive display intelligence software for Windows 11. It automatically configures monitor layout, brightness, contrast, alignment and display behavior so users can simply connect and work.

It is designed for modern workplaces where users move between desks, docking stations and multi-monitor setups.

QWhat problem does ScreenGenie solve?

ScreenGenie solves the recurring display issues that appear in flexible Windows 11 workplaces: incorrect monitor order, inconsistent brightness, duplicated displays, wrong primary monitor, poor vertical alignment and manual corrections after docking.

The result is a more consistent display experience for users and fewer avoidable support moments for IT.

QWhy does Windows forget monitor layouts after docking?

Windows can report displays differently depending on the docking station, connection path, monitor identifiers, daisy-chain order and whether the laptop screen is open or closed.

ScreenGenie detects the actual display environment and reapplies the intended configuration automatically.

QHow does ScreenGenie improve employee comfort?

ScreenGenie helps create a consistent visual setup by applying appropriate brightness, contrast, layout, primary display and vertical alignment settings. This reduces the need for users to manually adjust their workspace every time they dock.

QCan ScreenGenie standardize monitor brightness and contrast?

Yes. Where supported by the monitor and connection path, ScreenGenie can apply brightness and contrast settings automatically. This helps organizations create more consistent visual comfort and reduce unnecessary power usage from overly bright displays.

QDoes ScreenGenie support docking stations and daisy-chained monitors?

Yes. Docking stations and daisy-chained monitors are core scenarios for ScreenGenie. Exact behavior depends on how Windows reports the connected displays and how reliably the monitors expose their identifiers.

QCan ScreenGenie handle identical monitor models?

Yes. ScreenGenie focuses on reliable display identification. Where serial numbers or stable identifiers are available, settings can be applied to the correct monitor even when two connected screens are the same model.

Display telemetry

Measurable workplace

ScreenGenie Telemetry makes the display experience visible, manageable and measurable across the organization.

QWhat is display telemetry?

Display telemetry is real-time visibility into how monitors are configured across the organization. It helps IT understand monitor status, configuration consistency and workplace display behavior at scale.

QWhat information can ScreenGenie Telemetry show?

Depending on monitor support and configuration, ScreenGenie Telemetry can provide insight into:

  • Brightness and contrast
  • Resolution and refresh rate
  • Connection type
  • Monitor status and last seen information
  • Firmware information where supported by the vendor
  • Configuration consistency and policy compliance
QWhy is telemetry important for the modern workplace?

Most organizations manage laptops and endpoints, but they often have little visibility into the actual display experience. ScreenGenie Telemetry helps make monitor behavior part of workplace standardization, employee comfort, energy efficiency and IT operations.

QIs firmware telemetry available for every monitor brand?

Firmware telemetry depends on monitor vendor support. It is currently validated primarily with Dell monitors and may work with other vendors where the required information is exposed. Some vendors do not provide firmware information in a usable way.

QCan telemetry support sustainability initiatives?

Yes. By making brightness levels and monitor usage visible, organizations can identify overly bright or inconsistent display setups and support energy-aware workplace policies. Telemetry turns assumptions into measurable insight.

Deployment and management

IT operations
QCan ScreenGenie be centrally managed?

Yes. ScreenGenie can be deployed and configured centrally so IT can standardize monitor behavior, user profiles, policies and telemetry across managed Windows devices.

QCan ScreenGenie work with Intune, SCCM or similar tools?

Yes. ScreenGenie is designed for enterprise Windows management scenarios and can be packaged and deployed using mainstream endpoint management tools such as Microsoft Intune, Configuration Manager or comparable software distribution systems.

QAre settings applied per user or per device?

ScreenGenie is designed to support user-aware display behavior. This is important in shared workplaces where different users may use the same physical workstation but require their own display preferences and comfort settings.

QDoes ScreenGenie require special monitors?

ScreenGenie works best with monitors that expose reliable identifiers and support the relevant control interfaces. Brightness, contrast and firmware capabilities depend on the monitor, vendor implementation and connection type.

Secure Web Solo

Kiosk browser
QWhat is Secure Web Solo?

Secure Web Solo is a locked-down Windows browser for controlled web execution. It can be used as a secure browser, full-screen kiosk browser or enhanced KioskPlus environment.

QWhat is the difference between Browser, Kiosk and KioskPlus mode?

Browser mode runs as a controlled windowed application. Kiosk mode runs full screen. KioskPlus adds a configurable top bar with optional navigation, audio controls, restart, shutdown and other controlled functions.

QWhat does locked-down mean in practice?

Locked-down means users are prevented from accessing unwanted browser controls or Windows escape routes such as settings, context menus, function keys or unauthorized browsing paths, depending on configuration.

QCan Secure Web Solo be centrally configured?

Yes. Secure Web Solo supports centrally managed configuration scenarios so devices can receive consistent browser and kiosk settings.

VDI Access Suite

Controlled Windows access

VDI Access Suite turns a Windows 11 device into a controlled access portal for VDI, web and application environments.

QDoes VDI Access Suite turn a Windows PC into a thin client?

Yes. By replacing the standard Windows shell with a controlled portal, the device can behave like a managed thin client where users only see approved connections, applications and controls.

QWhich environments can VDI Access Suite launch?

VDI Access Suite can be configured to launch approved applications, web environments and VDI access scenarios such as Citrix, Omnissa Horizon and Microsoft AVD, depending on the deployment requirements.

QWhat is autolaunch?

Autolaunch starts a selected application, website or VDI environment automatically after sign-in. This is useful for task-focused, kiosk-like and shared endpoint scenarios.

QCan the interface be branded?

Yes. Branding options can include logos, splash screens, colors, wallpapers and icons so the controlled workspace matches the organization’s identity.

QCan local controls be exposed to users?

Yes. Where required, selected local controls such as audio, Wi-Fi or restart options can be exposed while the rest of the Windows environment remains controlled.
