    Inability to set monitor resolution above VGA on one of two Monitors in Windows 10


    I am running a Win 10 Pro 64 bit PC with an I9-9900KF cpu, ASUS TUF Z390-Plus MB; 64GB RAM and a pair of ASUS VS229 monitors driven through a goFanco active DP-to-two-DP adaptor, from the DP port of a Radeon RX 560 video card.


    The primary #1 monitor is stuck in VGA resolution, with no other resolutions offered in the Radeon or Windows setup screens. It is described in the advanced display dialog as "Display 1:" only.


    The #2 monitor has many offered resolutions offered in the Windows setup screen. It is described in the advanced display setting dialog as "Display 2: ASUS VS229". I almost believe this is significant. However, the drivers for both monitors are the same: monitor.sys version 10.0.18362.207, 6/21/2006.


    Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this?

    :)

    Windows 10 upgrade messed up 2nd monitor resolution on vga port

    Running ASUS A88X-PRO connected to 2 identical ASUS ProArt 246 monitors at 1920x1200 recommended resolution. One monitor connected through DVI port and second monitor on the VGA port. Everything worked fine with Windows 8.

    Upgraded to Windows 10 monitor on the VGA port would only display the central 70-80% portion of the image even though both monitors set to the same 1920x1200 resolution.

    Installed latest BIOS and chipset updates and drivers for Windows 10. Tried swapping monitors but problem is always with the VGA port monitor. Went through Control Panel, rechecked display settings numerous times without improvment.

    Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

    Windows 10 won't recognize VGA monitor


    In this case Windows 10 doesn't know you have a VGA monitor connected. As far as it knows its an HDMI monitor (device) connected to the video card. Did you check to see what resolution is set for that monitor? Settings > System > Display. There shouldn't be any need for a driver, not for the converter. It does everything internally.
