Windows 10: computer stuck in low resolution (1024x768)

I got a new monitor for my computer and I tuned it on, everything was fine and working, it looked good. I go to bed and turn it on this morning and the resolution is at 1024 x 768 so everything is wonky. I don't know how to fix it

Resolution stuck at 1024x768

I have an nVidia GTX 560 paired with a S23A550H samsung monitor and my resolution when using an HDMI cable has been stuck at 1024x768 even though my monitor supports up to 1080p (and is working perfectly).

When I connect the monitor through a VGA cable + DVI adapter it unlocks all the resolutions for me to choose but then the image is bad due to the VGA cable.

Things I've done so far:

a) Completely re-installed Windows (updated from Windows 7 to Windows 10);

b) Installed monitor driver;

c) Updated Chipset drivers;

d) Different HDMI cables;

e) Changed the slot for the graphic card;

f) Tried changing resolution via registry (found the strings on my own, changed then and it was still 1024x768 after restarting);

g) Obviously updated and unistalled and re-installed nVidia drivers.

h) Also tried to create a customized resolution via nVidia control panel but it did not work.

It all started when I got an old 20" monitor to replace my now-fixed monitor. It defaulted to 1024, allowing me to change resolutions back to normal just once which is weird. Since then, even when plugging my newer monitor, the resolution has been stuck
at 1024.

I'm thinking at this point it may be a graphic card issue but I'm completely lost. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

Screen resolution stuck at 1024x768 on Windows 10

So after Windows 10 updated to version 1803 my screen resolution got stuck at 1024x768.

Tried every single solution on the internet for 3 days straight now including installing different older/newer drivers, uninstalling drivers, changing things in regedit and every other "solution" on both fortums and Youtube. Of course nothing worked so came
to the conclusion I'd have to reinstall my entire computer. So I did and here I'm sitting with a clean Windows 1709 that STILL has the resolution stuck at f*cking 1024x768 and I've once again tried every single solution with drivers/edits/repairs. I'm so close
to throwing the entire computer out the window right now and buying a Mac instead it's not even funny.

Is there seriously any other option in this observable universe that can get my resolution back to 1920x1080?

 

Resolution problems 1024x768 or higher

I just purchased an HP Notebook 15-ay011nr 15.6-Inch Laptop with windows 10. I have been trying to download software off a CD that I had used on a previous computer. I keep getting an error that says "resolution must be 1024x768 or higher. I have tried
every resolution including that one and it keeps coming back with that same error. I did a driver update and everything is up to date. Any suggestions why this is happening or how to fix it?
