HP Display Control
Overview
HP Display Control is a software program developed by Portrait Displays. The most common release is 1.1.0.003, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The primary executable is named displaycontrol.exe. The setup package generally installs about 22 files and is usually about 8.52 MB (8,932,256 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of those who have this installed, most are running it on Windows 10. While about 96% of users of HP Display Control come from the United States, it is also popular in Germany and United Kingdom.
