seb-win-refactoring: Safe Exam Browser does not detect any displays.
Describe the Bug I had to take a test on my University’s elearning platform (Moodle), and when I tried to start SEB, it showed an error message saying that “0 internal and 0 external displays were detected” (screenshot below)
Steps to Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Install SEB (started on version 3.2.0, I tried version 3.1.1 and it worked)
- Try to take a test where the config locks the amount of displays to either 1, 2 or 3.
- See error
Expected Behavior SEB should detect the display and start the test with no errors.
Screenshots
Version Information
- OS: Windows 10 Professional, Version 21H2 (OS Build 19044.1348)
- SEB Version 3.3.1.388
Additional Context
I am using a laptop (ASUS ROG Strix GL703VD) with an i7-7700HQ, a GTX 1050 and 16GB of RAM, if that is of any interest.
I also found an error on the log, found on %LOCALAPPDATA%\SafeExamBrowser\Logs. I’m attaching the log, in case it helps.
