    how to save/transfer display settings


    I just got a laptop with HD display (3200x1800). It has taken some time to figure out settings to make this usable for "normal" computer use. Where are these settings so I can back them up and transfer them to other users?

    :)

    Display settings not saving

    are you talking about the desktop icons?

    if every thing else is ok click on the desktop

    Hold the ctrl key and use the mouse wheel to increase the size.

    if not check that you have the latest driver for your graphics card.

  3. Display settings not saving

    Yes, it worked for the icons. Thank you. The traditional way via Control Panel did not save but your way did. Appreciate it.

    The other issues with font size I have are probably program specific. Getting closer.

    They are in the GPU driver and it's control panel. Look for .ini files in the driver's/program's folder.

    It is an Intel 5500 integrated graphics and I can't find anything for it. Most of the settings seem to be implemented in the OS (W10).

    "It is an Intel 5500 integrated graphics and I can't find anything for it"
    HD Graphics Control Panel > Profiles > at the bottom Export/Import.
    For Syncing Windows Settings > Accounts > Sync your Settings. That may do more than you want.

    I doubt if you need to do this, surely it's easy enough to go to the same settings screens in another machine and do the Settings.
