    can I adjust display resolution for specific program


    I generally use the recommended display resolution (1920 X 1080).

    However there is one program I have where that resolution is unsatisfactory.

    So I have to always change that resolution, and then change it back when I am done with that program.

    Is there any way to set things up so this is done automatically?

  2. Need help adjusting resolution

    Hello Joan,

    To assist you further, I would like to ask what is the make and model of your computer.

    As you have tried to update the Display Adapter and are still unable to set screen resolution, I suggest you to install the Display Adapter in compatibility mode by following the steps provided below and check if it helps.

    • Download the setup files for the driver from the manufacturer website and save it on your local disk.
    • Right click on the setup file of the driver and select
      “Properties”.
    • Select “Compatibility” Tab.
    • Place a check mark next to“Run this program in Compatibility mode” and select operating system (Windows 7/8/8.1) from the drop down list.
    • Let the driver install and then check thefunctionality.

    Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

    Thank you.

  3. W10 Pro desktop PC - Have to adjust resolution every time I log in.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I suggest you to check the resolution of your screen and make changes according to your requirements. To change screen resolution follow the steps below

    • Go to your desktop, right-click your mouse and go to Display Settings.
    • A panel will open. Here you can adjust the size of text, apps, and other items and also change the orientation. To change the resolution settings, scroll down this window and click on Advanced Display Settings
    1366 X 768 is the recommended screen resolution

    • You can change it according to your requirements.
    NOTE: Lower is the resolution, larger is the content displayed on your screen. From the available options in the drop-down menu, select the one you want and click Apply.

    • If it is not the optimal setting for your system, you will see an Optimal Resolution Notification.
    You may ignore the notification and confirm your Screen Resolution changes by clicking on
    keep the Changes, or you may select another screen resolution. You will get just 15 seconds to confirm the changes or else it will revert to the default display settings.

    Also check if the drivers are up to date.

    Hope the information helps, if you have any further queries, feel free to post. We are here to assist you.

    Thank you.
