    personal display settings

    Hi Bunny,

    Regarding your concern with restoring your personal settings a month ago, it actually depends if there was a restore point that was created at that point in time.

    Windows System Restore is a program that can be used in order to go back to a particular time that has the memory of the system files and also includes your personal settings.

    Please click this link to check for available restore point and go through the section:
    Restore from a system restore point for the steps. Just in case that there’s no possible restore point, we suggest that you
    change your display settings manually instead.

    We’re just here if you need further help.
