Is there a way to connect a TV, Monitor and Projector to Windows?

I'm having a big headache with this.

 

- I have a 4K TCL TV 60hz HDR

- A 1080p BenQ projector 60hz

- And a 144Hz BenQ monitor (main)

 

I want to connect all 3 displays to my PC but Windows doesn't show me an option to switch between the TV, Projector or Monitor. All I see are options like duplicate, extend.

 

I already tried an HDMI switch but the one I've got doesn't support HDMI 2.0 or HDR (for the TV) and If I can avoid this type of filters that would be awesome. 

 

Is there a way to solve all this with just Windows options? Without using Duplicate or Extend?

What do you want to do once you have them all connected? To switch between displays you move your mouse off the edge of one and it'll go to the next.

I want to play games and work on the 144hz Monitor (main).

 

Then if I want to watch a movie, switch to the Projector.

 

And if I want to watch a TV show or play a game from bed switch to the TV

That's what I'm trying to avoid, I don't want them to connect on a same desktop, I don't want to move the mouse off the edge to go to another screen. I want to use a screen at the time depending on the situation.

Why not duplicate them and just turn off the ones you aren't using?

it causes some kind of issue, because of the different resolutions and refresh rates, for example the monitor is 1080p at 144hz but the TV is 4K at 60hz

 

If I set it to duplicate it caps my monitor from 144hz to 60hz and TV will stay in 1080p not 4K

Duplicate+ setting the resolution to 4K is even worse, it caps everything to 30 Hz
