  1. Display changed suddenly


    Hi,

    When I turned my computer on, my taskbar had changed from black to white as has my background from the result of tapping my windows button. How can I get it back to where it was?

    :)

    could have sworn I checked for tablet mode, but I guess not. Thanks.

    Display Suddenly Changed


    It was not the update (well, not directly). What had happened was that your display was in Tablet Mode. You can tell it's in Table Mode from the 'back' arrow to the right of Start and different options you see when you right-click on taskbar. Here's mine in Tablet mode....

    The default is that Windows will 'use the appropriate mode for my hardware' and it appears (this one time) to have made a mistake determining your hardware (perhaps the update confused it?). It got it right at the next boot and should continue to do so from now on.

    Display resolution keeps changing

    Hi Rick,

    It might be caused by a faulty driver that's why your display resolution keeps changing. We
    suggest that you uninstall and reinstall the display driver, see steps below:

    • Press Windows key + X and click on
      Device Manager.
    • For graphics cards, expand the Display adapters category, right click your graphics card and select Uninstall.
    • Restart your PC and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.
