I need to collect various information from monitors via code, I searched a little and found this link: https://www.itsupportguides.com/knowledge-base/vbs-scripts/vbs-script-get-monitor-serial-number-remotely/ The code itself works very well the problem is that in Windows 10 it does not return me any information about the monitor. I wonder if there is any other way that I can raise at least the serial number of the monitor by code, without being powershell.

On Windows, I would recommend you to search for this information using wmi.
Import the reference below:
Imports System.Management
And search the serial data using the table Wmimonitorid:
Dim searcher As New ManagementObjectSearcher("root\WMI", "SELECT * FROM WMIMonitorID")
For Each queryObj As ManagementObject In searcher.Get()
Dim serial() As UInt16 = queryObj("SerialNumberID")

It must be different in Windows 10 that you need to check ... it is not a good then mess with this script ...

From what I understand of the code it picks up by the windows registry, on the way:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\DISPLAY\Default_Monitor, if studying this is almost certain (it seems to me) that it will be able to create a reasonably simpler algorithm that takes such data.– Guilherme Nascimento
I voted to close, but I think that perhaps the case of this question is reasonable, so I am voting to reopen, I even understand that the author has not presented any attempt, but since there is already an answer and that the question is very objective (which I think helps a lot), it doesn’t have much to improve and so it seems reasonable and useful for future visitors.
