************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

When open GUI.

When using command.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:
Just open Helios.

Expected behaviour
GUI appear or screen setting automatically with command. It's also used to work normally.

Reporting Logs

1. Download the HeliosDisplayManagement.Reporting.zip file.
2. Extract it to the desktop. (or somewhere with write access for your user account)
3. Execute the program and wait for it to end, then press Enter to exit.
4. This will generate a log file right next to the program, rename this newly created log file from "HeliosDisplayManagement.Reporting.XXXXX.log" to a meaningful name, for example: "DisabledSurround.log" or "AllMonitorsExtended.log" so I know what the log is about.
5. Switch to other modes (using Windows Control Panel and NVidia Control Panel) and repeat these steps.

At the end of this process, you should have multiple .log files each generated while your system was in a correct mode. Feel free to check the log files for any information you might not want to share with the public. Attach these .log files here.

Enviroment (please complete the following information):

• Windows Version: Win10
• Version 1809

This is an error finding its way from the Windows underlying API to the application. I can't do much about this. Probably the best thing I can do is to capture this error and ignore that one device.

You should, however, try to find the root of the problem by checking your drivers and registry for bad configuration or outdated drivers.

HRESULT 0x80004005 is documented as an Unspecified error indicating a failure in the operation by MSDN and in your case happened when Helios tried to get your display's driver path in Windows.

I keep this issue open in case maybe we could find the root of this and help users better in their troubleshooting efforts.
