Windows 10: my resolution dropped to 1024x768 and i cant change it back to 1980x1080

my monitors were working just fine and i booted up my computer the next day and the resolution dropped from 1980x1080 to 1024x768 and i cant change it in windows. ive tried almost everything and i cant seem to fix it.

Unable to change screen resolution.

A couple days ago, I installed a driver update from Nvidia Geforce which was released on day 1 of Farcry 5.

After the update, my screen resolution changed from 1980x1080 to 1024x768 and I am unable to change it back as there is only 2 options, 1024x768 and 800x600. As I'm not very tech savvy, the reasonable thing for me to do was to try and install an older driver
update, thinking that it will help, but as it did not, I reinstalled the latest driver just for safety.

The driver update is what I believe to be the cause of the problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Resolution is 1024x768 instead of 1336x768

The purpose of the installer is to place LG HD 16.inf and LG HD 16.icm in the right locations.

I'm not sure that I have ever seen a monitor show up as a "Generic Non-PnP Monitor". Generic PnP (plug and play), yes.

Here are some suggestions: https://forums.tomshardware.com/thre...nitor.1935333/

It may be as simple as a bad VGA cable. Particularly if you got the same thing with two different graphics cards.

I would suggest you to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if it works.
