Windows 10: How to get 1920x1080?

I just bought a Dell Inspiron i5 running windows 10.

I have noticed that my icons are very large and windows are just bulky in comparison to other models that I've used in the past. I went into display settings and could only find 1366x768 for my recommended display. No matter what i do or try to update nothing works. Does anyone understand or even know how to bring up 1920x1080 or is it impossible.

:)

 

Monitor Resolution shows 1280x1024 where Monitor is capable of 1920x1080 resolution

1920x1080 not available since major update this morning

I installed the monitor driver but 1920x1080 is still not available *Sad


It still does not even list 1920x1080 as a valid mode. It still only allows up to 1600x1200. 1920x1080 was available before the update.

 

Unable to select 1920x1080 resolution.

Thanks for the quick reply, I have done this step before and did it again as per your instructions. It appears that windows still doesn't recognize my monitor as capable of 1920x1080...
