    Changing display size instead of resolution?


    Dear Microsoft,Is it possible to change display sizing without changing resolution?To illustrate my issue is that screen 1 is my 15,6 inch 1080p laptop and screen 2 is my 32 inch 720p tv.I want my cursor to stay on the same height on both screens when moving it over but it sees the second screen as being smaller as my laptop so this is simply not possible.Is there a setting in win11 that fixes it, or by any chance a third-party option?Thanks for your time!Sincerely,Win11Gang

    :)

  2. 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.
