Windows 10: How to change screen resolution settings when greyed out?

This same question is on another thread with the same title; however, I wanted to post what worked for me in case someone else runs into it. I run into the issue of the resolution settings under display settings being greyed out intermittently. Normally it is fine, so it is nothing to do with the driver etc., but rather Windows loses track of the monitor when switching between monitors. Clicking on detect fixes the issue. Display Settings are accessible via start->settings or by right clicking in an empty area of the desktop and choosing "Display Settings".

• Press Windows key and type Change Screen Resolution and click on the option listed.
• Under resolution try changing the resolution settings.

Also try to install the latest drivers from the manufacturer website and check.

Change the Resolution setting on the moniter

Hello, to change your screen resolution, please follow these steps:

1) Open Start, select Settings then select System and then select Display. Alternatively, you can right click the background on your desktop, and select Display Settings.

2) Under Scale and layout, check the setting under Change the size of text, apps, and other items. We suggest you use the percentage marked "(Recommended)."

3) If that doesn't solve your problem, under Resolution, select a new value. We suggest you stick with the resolution marked "(Recommended)."
