After Upgrading - Can't Get 1440x900 Display Resolution
Oct 29, 2015
I have a computer I upgraded to Windows 10 Pro. it was Windows 7 Ultimate. It has a 19" Acer X193W monitor with a resolution of 1440x900.
After upgrading to Windows 10 Pro last night,it won't provide that setting. I've even tried "Custom Resolutions Utility" at [URL], a utility which is supposed to provide a custom resolution, but I can't get it to work properly--it wipes out EVERYTHING and doesn't add the settings I tell it to. I can't find the driver for the monitor, nor the driver for the adapter. (By the way, why is it so hard to find these things, and why do so many pages which purport to instead bombard you with "download" links to things that are not that at all? Major "ugh!")
Is there an EASY and I mean EASY (as in it might take me 45 seconds, TOTAL) way to FORCE this computer with Windows 10 to provide a 1440x900 setting?

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but when I look at the MWDA reviews, everyone's surface is picking up the full screen.
My sp4 though, doesn't. there is a black screen around the screen when projected to the TV. I've tried it on my tv (old *** tv) and a newer Samsung TV.
The only way I got it to pick up the entire screen on the Samsung was by adjusting the picture size and stretching it. But it would never fit exact. Piece of the screen would be cut off on the top, bottom and sides.
It's annoying. I've tried changing the settings in the MWDA app but that only makes things smaller.

I keep getting the above notice, but the display is set to the recommended setting. If I change the setting, I get a notice telling me it is incorrect and to set back to the recommended setting. Just a bug or can I turn off the notification some where. This has been going on for some time now.

Since upgrading from Windows 7 x64 to Windows 10, my monitor/display on my desktop will no longer go to sleep/turn off after the scheduled 5 minutes. I had no issues with this in Windows 7. I have updated the BIOS, video drivers, USB wireless mouse driver and anything that could be related and no change. All i want is for the monitor to turn off after the set time. I don't use a screensaver. There is no driver update for the monitor (Viewsonic VX2450). I've also tried uninstalling the monitor driving and reinstalling but no change. Seems like the system also will not sleep when set to sleep.

So late last night I decided to upgrade expecting everything to work. Well I was in for a surprise when the default resolution is 1024x768 and my monitor is 1920x1280. The best part when I do think I have got it fixed the highest resolution is 1600x1200. I have tried my monitors size detection and refit options with no success, my monitor is a hannas-g hl269. Its not much of a difference in resolution but its causing me motion sickness when I tried playing games.

I can access the screen in control panel to change display resolution in Windows 10 but can't adjust the resolution. It just won't let me! My display is two inches to the left and icons appear stretched vertically.

So on my dell xps 13 that I just put windows 10 on, I'm looking for a way to have the icons rescale to the correct size when changing displays without signing out? For example, I'll have it plugged into my monitor, then unplug the laptop to use it, and when the laptop screen turn's back on everything on the desktop is supper small. A sign out and in fixes this, but that's less then ideal.

I've recently updated to Windows 10. At first there were no problems and it was running fine. However, when I restarted my computer I noticed that the resolution had changed from 1680x1050 to 600x800. I can change it back to 1680x1050, but every time I restart my computer it changes back to the smaller resolution. I have tried to update my graphics drivers (I have an AMD 6670) but I don't know if it worked and the problem still occurs.

While viewing a thread here, the forum went from perfect visual clarity to a washed out appearance. The most obvious example is on any given topic page where the listed threads I have viewed are a lighter shade of blue and unread ones are bold blue. Now the bold is 2-3 shades lighter and the lighter blue ones are just easily discernible but washed out looking.

I use "Align Icons to Grid" to line up icons on my Desktop. However, I find the resolution of the grid is too coarse. How can I reduce the icon spacing between icons for the "Align Icons to Grid" option?

I upgrade my Win7 Pro to Win10 Pro last night and lost my 3840x2160x30 setup, being reduced back to 1980x1200. I've since done a clean install and reinstalled the latest drivers for my Samsung U28D590D and My ATI Radeon HD 5770.Nothing i have done has given me back my 4K resolution.

I was working on my MIL's laptop over the weekend, and she was having problems with games on Windows 10. She's running a Yoga 2 Pro, and launching full screen games requires a resolution change. The game would launch, and be running normally, but attempting to give it focus would always drop you back into the desktop.
After doing some research, it's a remaining bug from the beta. Resolution changes causes the start menu to steal focus, which causes you to drop down into the desktop. Alt tabbing into the game repeats the cycle. The games (in this case) were not crashing, just unable to display.

I have 2 monitors plugged on my desktop PC running widows 10 pro. I'm facing a technical issue with one of them but cannot replace it for now. The problem on that monitor is that it turns off and on by itself randomly. Each time it happens, the resolution on the monitor that doesn't have this problem changes. This is very annoying of course. How to prevent this?

I recently upgraded to Windows 10 on my desktop (upgraded from Windows 7, activated and then did a clean install) and ever since I've been encountering an odd issue:
Every time I reboot the PC, the resolution changes from 1600x900 to 1024x768. This happens after both restarting and shutting down. Every time Windows boots, it resets the resolution.
My specs are as follows:
CPU - Intel Xeon X3220 (OCed to 3.2GHZ)
RAM - 8GB DDR2-800
MOBO - Gigabyte EP45-UD3R
GPU - XFX Radeon HD6870 (Using latest drivers)
OS - Windows 10 Pro
how to fix it? Once I'm logged on, I can change the resolution back fine, and games run fine too, so it's definitely detecting my card properly and using the Radeon drivers
I must say, I'm a bit disappointed with Windows 10... Under Win 7 everything worked flawlessly, whereas under 10 I get loads of these small issues that make the experience particularly frustrating. Chief among them is the fact that Windows 10 is slow as anything - a fresh install takes longer to boot than my year old Windows 7 install did, and just generally feels less responsive than 7 did.

I have temporarily connected a 22 inch LCD tv monitor( until i get a new one) to pc via HDMI lead but i cannot get resolution set right.The recommended native makes the taskbar disappear of screen and the desktop icons are barely visible on left side of screen.
I have tried various resolution settings but all are no good apart from one which makes the desktop look like like a laptop screen.
I have reset Windows 10 and updated Intel Graphic Card drivers to the latest but still resolution cannot be set correctly for monitor and used a VGA lead aswell.
Is it because you need a proper pc monitor to have correct resolution ?

We installed windows 10 on our desk top computer from direct download. once everything was completed. The resolution on monitor is stuck on 800x600 and the desktop is compacted in the middle of the screen. The monitor is 19 or 20 inches, but nevertheless the desktop is about an inch and half smaller on each end of monitor. We were able to change through settings icon size, but still left with compacted screen.
