 Long time no post! Here are two recent Zotero tricks

Extracting references from a document (and copying to clipboard)

And merging duplicates:

```

var DupPane = Zotero.getZoteroPanes();
for(var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 1000));
DupPane[0].mergeSelectedItems();
Zotero_Duplicates_Pane.merge();
}

```

Also, try to update your computers drivers, via the built-in systems (eg Lenovo Vantage)

To Clear and Reset External Display Cache in Windows 10,

1. Open the Registry Editor app.
2. Go to the following Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers\
   See how to go to a Registry key with one click.
3. Right-click on the subkey Configuration and select Delete from the context menu.
4. Now, delete two other subkeys, Connectivity and ScaleFactors.
5. Restart Windows 10 to make the changes done by the Registry tweak take effect.
