Windows 10: Higher res diaplay modes lost

W10 10 PC with an NVidia Geforce GTX 560 TI graphics card.
Connected to a Samsung S23C650 monitor. (via a KVM)

Usually used in a High res mode ... working fine earlier, shut down when I started up again ... it is in low res 1024 x 768
Under Settings >Display it does not list any higher res settings .... such as the normally used 2560 x 1600.

Under device Manager it shows card without any error icon .. and it shows no driver updated since March.

:)

 

New FF - passwords


Hi:

If that setting is already enabled, then I suggest as the next troubleshooting step might be Mozilla Safe Mode (not to be confused with Windows Safe Mode)):

Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode | Firefox Help

• Please report back and let us know the outcome, as it will dictate the next steps.
• Also: please tell us what AV/AM/firewall programs are you running on this system?

Thanks,
MM

 

Cant change resolution higher than 1024x768

Hi Lewis,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

1) Does this issue occur in one account or other accounts(if any)?

I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the graphic drivers in Compatibility mode and check if it works:

Follow the steps to uninstall the Wi-Fi driver:

• Press Windows Key + X key.
• Click on Device Manager.
• Right-click on the Display drivers listed and click on ‘Uninstall’.
• Select the option to Delete driver software.
• Restart the computer after its uninstalled.

I would suggest you to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if it works.

Follow the steps provided below to install the drivers in compatibility mode:

• Right-click on the driver setup file and click on ‘properties’.
• Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box "Run this program in compatibility mode for” and select Windows operating system from the drop down.
• Click on ‘Apply’ and click ‘OK’ and run the file to install it.

Please reply with status of the issue for further assistance.

Thanks.
