I have looked a lot on the Internet and can't find a proper solution to this.
I have 3 screens plugged into my GPU, I will call them 1, 2 and 3 for better understanding.
I want to switch between two setups without using Windows configuration display settings:

Setup one:
Screens 1 and 2 turned on, screen 1 as the main screen and screen 2 as extended to the right of screen 1.

Setup two:
Screen 3 only with screen 3 as the main display with screen 1 and 2 off.

Is there any possibilities to switch easily between those two setups only?
For example, bind a shortcut like Crtl+Alt+F1 for setup one and Crtl+Alt+F2 for setup two.
I would even prefer a way to remap options in the Project menu accessible from Win+p but so far I haven't been able to find if it's possible or not.

Edit 1:
I have tried to dump the registry key with the screen configuration and reimport it, but it seems that I need to trigger some system call to make the change to registry effective.
If you know which DLL or command I should invoke to refresh configuration modified in registry, I could build a small script myself.

I finally find an almost correct setup to achieve what I want. It requires no tool but you need to be precise when using it.

• Use the shortcut Windows+P to switch to PC screen only.
• Switch on all the screens you have
• Use the shortcut Windows+P to switch to Extend mode.
• Set up your display configuration in my case screen 1 and 2 extended with screen 3 turn off.
• Use the shortcut Windows+P to switch to Second screen only.
• Set up your display configuration in my case screen 1 and 2 off with screen 3 turn on.

Now if you are in Extend mode and you turn your third screen on nothing will happen.
If you want to only have your third screen on, switch it on and use the keyboard shortcut to switch to Second screen only.
If you want to revert to Extend mode, do it while all your screens are ON.
If you switch to Extend mode while the third screen is off it will mess up your configuration and you will have to do it again.

You can use Monitor Switcher to do this with more configuration
