How can I restore DELETED WMR 3 virtual desktops?

Hi,

A while ago I accidentally deleted the 3 virtual display created automatically when starting WMR.

I guess I was following this procedure to delete them but I can't find a way to restore them .

I was not aware at the time that there is a setting option in WMR to do this or, later I found, the registry entry.

Now I am unable to open native applications in VR. They all open on the 'real' desktop.

I need to restore the 3 deleted displays to be able to play native application like Edge.

When I open the "Display Settings", while WMR is running, I only see the 2 connected monitors. I need to restore the ones I deleted.

I already did the following and it did not help:

  • Uninstall & Reinstall WMRReset WMR settings and environment settings

  • Disabled the option to "Create virtual displays for classic apps when mixed reality starts" & restarted my PC

  • Enabled the option to "Create virtual displays for classic apps when mixed reality starts" & restarted my PC

  • Made sure:[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Holographic] "PreallocateVirtualMonitors"=dword:00000001

  • While my VR is connected and running, I clicked the "Detect" button and got a red message: Didn't detect another display.

  • I even tried to create my own virtual display using this how to remove display but while I was able to create a virtual display it is not related to WMR since the native app still open on the (real) desktop.

  • Tried to see if there are any monitors under device manager and there were none.

 

What else can I do? How can I restore those virtual displays?

I am running latest build for win10

VR is HP reverb Gen1

My GeForce 1080ti has it's latest driver

Games are running fine on the VR

 

Thanks
