Auto Profile Switcher

Switch Stream Deck profiles from the foreground window — including MSIX apps the built-in Smart Profile feature cannot see.

Why this plugin?

Section titled “Why this plugin?”

Elgato’s Smart Profiles match apps by executable path. Teams, WhatsApp, and Windows Terminal ship as MSIX packages under WindowsApps — paths that change on every update, so Stream Deck often cannot detect them.

Auto Profile Switcher uses Win32 GetForegroundWindow directly and adds window title matching — something Smart Profiles cannot do at all.

MSIX / WindowsApps

Detect Teams, WhatsApp, Terminal, and any packaged app by process name.

Title matching

Route windowsterminal + PowerShell to a different profile than windowsterminal + Ubuntu.

Hybrid mode

Works alongside built-in Smart Profiles — releases control when no rule matches.

Test detection

Find the exact process name and window title without leaving Stream Deck.
