    Desktop Resolution


    Since Win10 upgraded I can't get any more than 1280 x 1084. I used to get 1920 x 1200. I can't find a setting anywhere that will let me get back to that.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    :)

  2. Windows 10 desktop resolution issue

    Hi Arindam,

    Welcome and thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. We appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    I understand the inconvenience that you are unable to change the screen resolution, we will help you with this issue.

    I suggest you to update the Display Adapter Drivers

    Step 1: Update the Display Adapter driver.

    • Press Windows key + X key when you are at desktop.
    • Select Device Manager.
    • Expand Display Adapter.
    • Right on the Display Adapter and click on
      Update driver software.

    Refer to: How to: Install and
    Update drivers in Windows 10


    Step 2: Please follow the below steps to change the resolution of the screen and check:

    • Type Change screen resolution in the Search
      box from the desktop.
    • Under Resolution search for the Recommended resolution and click on
      Apply.
    • A windows pops up saying "Keep these display settings", then select
      Keep changes.

    I would like to inform that, there will be a recommended resolution for all the computers, and if you select more than the recommended resolution the screen would not support for that.

    Hope this helps. Feel free to contact us for any further issues on Windows Operating System, we will be
    happy to help you.

    Desktop Resolution

    errorr invalid Desktop resolution 0x0

    I have the same issue, it started right after installing the Windows 10 Creator's Update.

    Here is how I fixed it:

    • Right-click the desktop, left click "Display Settings"
    • Write down what your current resolution is (1920 x 1080 in my case), then change it to 800 x 600 and click "Keep Changes"
    • Start Hoyle
    • Exit Hoyle
    • Right-click the desktop, left click "Display Settings"
    • Change the resolution from 800 x 600 back to what you wrote down in step 2) and click "Keep Changes"
    • Start Hoyle again and it should still work
    Hoyle now works under the original resolution of 1920 x 1080 for me so this appears to be some glitch with the Windows 10 Creators Update fixed by changing the resolution and changing it back.
