    How to View Detailed Display Information in Windows 10


    Starting with Windows 10 build 17063, you can now view detailed information about your display(s).

    Most of the information should be self-explanatory, but here are a couple of pieces that you might want more detail on:
    • Desktop resolution vs active signal resolution - Typically, your desktop resolution and your active signal resolution will be identical. To provide a smoother experience, Windows prefers to keep your display running at its native signal resolution. If you change your display resolution, you may see a difference between your desktop resolution and your active signal resolution.
    • The mysterious 59 Hz refresh rate - Display enthusiasts may remember this conversation from the Windows 7 days. You may see 59 Hz listed as your refresh rate even though you have set it to 60 Hz, but rest assured that this is by design for monitors and TVs that report only 59.94 Hz but not 60 Hz. Learn more about it here.
    This tutorial will show you how to view detailed information about your connected display(s) in Windows 10.



    Here's How:

    1. Open Settings, and click/tap on the System icon.

    2. Click/tap on Display on the left side, and click/tap on the Advanced display settings link towards the bottom of the right side. (see screenshot below)

    3. You will now see detailed display information for each display you have connected. (see screenshot below)

    *note Starting with Windows 10 build 17704, you will now have a drop menu to select a display when you have multiple displays.

    That's it,

  2. How to make details view default view for windows 10?

    How do get rid of the icons and make detail view the default view on my windows 10 desktop? The following article suggests that using ctrl+shift+6 will do this, but I have been unsuccessful in getting this key sequence to work.

    Set Details, Content or List view for Desktop icons in Windows 10

    Is it possible to show details view only or not?

    thanks for any help.

    Paul

    Hi MyTen,

    Thanks for the post. *Wink

    You changed the generic.SearchResults.
    Did you create HKROOT and HKLM keys?

    I don't have them.

    Unfortunately, since libraries aren't folders but XML, I can't seem to find were to set view. Only remembers per folder not sub folders included.

    LogicalViewMode | Value | Description
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Details | 1 | Details view
    Tiles | 2 | Tiles view
    Icons | 3 | Icons view
    List | 4 | List view (Windows 7 and later)
    Content | 5 | Content view (Windows 7 and later)

    Mode | Value | Description
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Icon | 1 | Medium-size icons
    Small icon | 2 | Small icons (seems unused)
    List | 3 | Object names are displayed in a list view
    Details | 4 | Object names and other selected information are shown
    Thumbnail | 5 | Thumbnail icons
    Tiles | 6 | Large icons
    Thumbstrip | 7 | Display icons in a filmstrip format (XP only)
    Content | 8 | Content mode (Windows 7 and later)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Change Folder View Layout in Windows 10


    "uhm that method does not work. i want to set folder view as List as default instead Details for all folders"
    Did you download and run Brink's .bat file in Step 1 ? Lacking that, look at the screens in post 3. In Step 5 'folders of this type' defaults to each of the Windows templates for Pictures, Music, etc. If you want ALL folders to have the same List view, r-click any folder in each of the 5 folders under This PC (Desktop does not apply) and hit 'Customize this folder'. Set to 'Optimize this folder for General Items". Then follow the screen in post 3 using List instead of Details in Step 1 and you should be good to go.
