Windows 10: Not Able To Change Resolution to 3440x1440 in Windows 11???

Hi everyone! I have a MSI notebook nvidia gforce gtx1650 with a second screen AOC CU34P2A. The monitor is working , but the resolution is awful. Windows display settings are not letting me change the resolution to 3440 x 1440. The highest it will go is 2560 x 1080. I'm using the HDMI cord that came with the AOC monitor, and plugging it into the HDMI port form de notebook.I've run the windows updates and the display drivers show to be current. How do I need to make the 3440x1440 setting available for the monitor? is this a problem of the cables of a problem with windows?

:)

 

Not Able To Change Resolution to 3440x1440 in Windows 10???

Hi everyone!

I have a Surface Book and a new HP Envy 34c monitor. The monitor is working , but the resolution is awful. Windows display settings are not letting me change the resolution to 3440 x 1440. The highest it will go is 1920 x 1200.
I'm using the HDMI cord that came with the HP monitor, and plugging it into a "Mini Displayport to HDMI" adapter, which is plugged into the Surface Book Mini DP port.

I've run the windows updates and the display drivers (Intel HD Graphics 520 and NVIDIA GeForce GPU) show to be current.

What do I need to make the 3440x1440 setting available for the monitor? Is it something with the cables?

Hi,

Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft community.

We understand the inconvenience caused and we will try our best to resolve the issue.

We appreciate you for trying the troubleshooting steps.

This issue might occur when the graphics card is not supporting the resolution which you are trying to set.


I suggest you to try setting the screen resolution through Windows registry and check if it helps.

Follow the below steps:

1) Press Windows key + R, type regedit and hit
Enter.

2) Locate for the below path in registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\UnitedVideo\CONTROL\SERVICES\BASICDISPLAY

3) There are multiple keys under this folder, the entries you want are named:

DefaultSettings.YResolution

DefaultSettings.XResolution

4) Change the resolution to your desired resolution.
