You got it! As I said, I'm happy to continue helping us both get through this. I mainly meant I'd be going back to 1.9.30 so I can get back to my actual ebook editing. But I'll switch back whenever you have a new thing for me to try.

I am a bit worried about the idea of using the FriendlyName key combined with the serial number, because at least in my case, that key didn't exist for me, and as far as I know it's not something that's exposed outside of the registry (maybe an extension like Powertoys would have an option to set this). So if this is the proposed fix, it'll (probably) work for me because I can do that, but your other users may not be as comfortable with the idea of ticking their registry.

Maybe, if you're able to access other keys, the "Driver" key may be an option, as that inherently has the unique number after the slash:

Code:
Left: 	{4d36e96e-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0003
Right: 	{4d36e96e-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0004
The number in braces matches the ClassGUID; maybe the number after the slash represents the graphic card's port? Also, the folder the keys themselves are in are unique (see attachment). The folders with "Device Parameters" subfolders are the current monitors while the ones without are old/unused.
