    Screen resolution wrong


    I was playing Jurassic World: Evolution when all of a sudden my screen became far too zoomed in, becoming 1024x768 instead of what I assume to be 1920x1080, so I quit the game, and went to find a way to fix it. There was no option to switch it back to 1920x1080, so I had to put it to 1600x1200 just to more easily see what was going on. I also checked my graphics driver, and it said it was up to date, so I don't know what happened. I think it happened because I had kept on pressing the windows key to exit the game temporarily, but I have no idea if this is the case. Hopefully someone knows what to do. I'll have to use 1600x1200 for now.

    :)

    Intermittent wrong screen resolution at boot


    This has only started happening recently - every few boots, the screen choice between Windows 10 and XP appears with the wrong resolution. The image is small on the screen. If I select Windows 10, the full boot sequence continues with that resolution. However, if I select 'Advanced options' and then 'Continue to Windows 10', the resolution changes to the correct format.
    A week or so back, I went back to a previous set point and that seemed to cure the problem. Then it returned.
    Can anyone suggest what is happening?
