Hello Microsoft Community,As mentioned above, when I enter a game with the resolution different from the native res and change the resolution manually through settings, the desktop res does change properly but the active signal mode does not change, leading to stretched recording, black bars when record with Geforce Experience.

desktop resolution and active signal resolution

I have my desktop resolution set at 1280 x 1024, which is what I want,

but the active signal resolution is set at 1920 x 1080.

Where can I change the active signal resolution to 1280 x 1024?

I have tried going to "display adapter properties" and list all modes,

but this only lets me change the desktop resolution.

Unable to change active signal mode

Hello, hoping someone can help because this has really been bothering me for a while! I have windows 11.

The issue is that I am not able to use my laptop with my projector.

I have bought 3 different connectors and I can use them with other projectors so they are not a problem. But when I press 'duplicate' or 'extend screen' nothing happens.

I think I may need to change the 'active signal mode' but I can't. I have gone to System - Display - Advanced Display - Display adapter properties for display 1 - list all modes - and then I change it to a different resolution. However, this changes the Desktop Mode, not the Active Signal Mode. So how do a change the active signal mode? Or what may be the reason why I can't use my laptop with my projector?

Really hoping someone can help me!!!

Many thanks,

Holly
