    Steam Running in low res


    Hi all

    I just installed Windows 10 Pro from the official updater in what was Windows 7.

    Since the upgrade to Windows 10 there are a few bits I am tweaking to get them how I like them but one I cannot find a fix for.

    1. When I open Steam it opens in ultra low resolution, something like 640 or close too it. I have tried looking at the settings in Steam itself and also under the Display settings in Windows 10 but none appear to fix this.

    Any ideas?

    2. Second problem is a lot of my applications don't run unless they are being run as an Administrator is there a way to turn this off so everything I do is automatically being run as Administrator?

    Rami.

    :)

    Hello Bob,

    To try and help you with the issue, please follow these steps below:

    • Press Windows Key or click Start, and then type and click
      Display Settings.
    • Choose Display on the left side. On the right side panel, choose
      Advanced display settings.
    • The new window should show you number 1 and 2 which indicates that there are currently 2 monitors being detected by your computer. Choose the monitor which needs to have the resolution changed and change its resolution by clicking on the drop down option
      under Resolution. Please use the recommended resolutions. You can change it later to your desire.
    • Check the issue gets resolved.

    Let us know the results

  3. Sending video in low res Lumia 920

    My lumia 920 will only send video I have recorded on the phone in low res, not the hd the phone has recorded. Is there a setting I can change to send in HD by default?

    Hi mate.

    I just updated to W10 this morning and had the same problem as yours, not only on Steam but with another programs as well.

    Searching about it on google I found this link on reddit: Screenshot - 9f98172c0b6695be8f6099a6233dd4f9 - Gyazo (You can click, it's just a screenshot)

    Hope it fix your problem.

    Thanks matheuskate that fixed it. Still feels strange needing to do that to get basic applications to work properly but it is a new OS I guess!

    Thanks again.

    It fixed the problem with my wife's Popcap games, they were all too big making them unplayable but by doing what you said they fit the screen now, perfectly playable.

    Thanks.
