Reset Application Settings

Overview

The Reset Settings feature in DISPLAX Connect allows you to restore the application’s configuration to its default values. This is especially useful when troubleshooting unexpected behavior, configuration conflicts, or after extensive testing and adjustments.

Resetting settings does not uninstall DISPLAX Connect or affect the settings of touch controllers. It only resets application-level settings.

What Reset Settings Does

When Reset Settings is applied, DISPLAX Connect will:

  • Restore all application preferences to factory defaults

  • Clear custom configuration changes made within the software

  • Remove saved adjustments that may cause conflicts or incorrect behavior

⚠️ Important: This action cannot be undone. Any custom settings will need to be reconfigured manually.

How to Reset Settings

  1. Click the Preferences (gear icon) in the upper-right corner.

  2. Navigate to the Advanced tab.

  3. Click Reset Settings.


  4. Confirm the action when prompted.


DISPLAX Connect will reset the application settings and return to its default configuration.

When to Use Reset Settings

Use the Reset Settings feature if:

  • DISPLAX Connect behaves unexpectedly

  • Touch behavior is inconsistent after multiple adjustments

  • Configuration conflicts are suspected

  • You want to start a new setup from a clean configuration

Note

After resetting settings, the tutorial will be displayed again. You may now reapply the necessary settings for your use case.
