I wanna set the screen resolution of screen 1 to a predetermined value of 1872 x 1248 then set scaling to 100% then launch a .exe file from a folder, and once the exe is closed revert the screen automatically back to 3240 x 2160 and 200% scaling.

EDIT1:

Batch command to change the resolution of a computer

this one helped me set the resolution and it works fine:

  ChangeScreenResolution.exe /w=1872 /h=1248 /d=0

allFiles.exe

/wait allFiles.exe 
ChangeScreenResolution.exe /w=3240 /h=2160 /d=0

But I couldn't find any resources on how to set resolution scaling at all, that's the missing bit, I'm fairly sure it can be done, but I don't know how.

How can it be done?

Thanks

So thanks to @Compo I figured out how it can be done:

https://github.com/imniko/SetDPI

https://tools.taubenkorb.at/change-screen-resolution/

And these 2 can do the trick for anyone interested:

::This bit changes Screen Resolution of Display1 to 1872 x 1248
::ChangeScreenResolution.exe [/w=1872 Horizontal Pixels] [/h=1248 Vertical Pixels] [/d=0 Means Display1]
ChangeScreenResolution.exe /w=1872 /h=1248 /d=0


::This bit changes this bit changes the scaling for Display1 to 125% 
:: SetDPI.exe [Display Number 1 - means Display1] [Scaling %]
SetDPI.exe 1 125

::This bit starts allFiles.exe and goes on to the next line ONLY AFTER IT'S CLOSED
allFiles.exe /wait 

::This bit sets resolution back to original
::ChangeScreenResolution.exe [/w=3240 Horizontal Pixels] [/h=2160 Vertical Pixels] [/d=0 Means Display1]
ChangeScreenResolution.exe /w=3240 /h=2160 /d=0 

::This bit sets scaling back to original
:: SetDPI.exe /[Display Number 1 - means Display1] /[Scaling %]
SetDPI.exe 1 200

Thanks guys, it works like a charm now!
