Windows 10: KVM resets my screen resolution.

This happens whenever this PC is switched by the KVM away to another PC and then I return to it. Resolution reverts to 1024x768. Well known problem but nothing I have found s/w or h/w on Google has worked yet.


Is there a simple s/w way of locking my PC's resolution to what it ought to be with the screen I use through the KVM?


Many thanks,

• Press Windows key and type Change Screen Resolution and click on the option listed.

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

Wrong monitor resolution when using KVM switch


Hi,
When using Win10 with my monitor it correctly sets the resolution to 1360x768.
When I use my KVM switch it changes the resolution to 1024x768 which looks all wrong. I try to manually change the resolution but 1360x768 is not on the list. I have unchecked the "hide modes" in the advanced monitor setting but still no 1360x768.
The other PC connected to the KVM switch is running XP and that works fine on 1360x768 so I know the KVM is capable of using this setting.
How can I fix this?
I was thinking there must be a way of manually setting and locking the resolution or turning of the auto monitor detection.

I did some googling and found a program which looked like it would help but not for the Intel chipset (using on board graphics).

Many thanks
