Windows 10: Still trying to figure out how to improve my desktop resolution

As my title indicates I'm trying to figure out how to set the resolution In Windows 10 so that I can see my desktop better.

When I go to settings> System> Display and choose a different resolution my desktop is not feeling all of my monitor as you can see in the picture. I'm trying to make things bigger so I can see them better but when I try to adjust my resolution it's not working for me. When I say it's not working for me I'm not saying it doesn't change the resolution it just presents another problem and that's where my desktop doesn't fill out my whole computer screen.

If anyone knows of a way to solve this issue I would appreciate the help. I'll attach a screenshot and you can see on the left side since I have a dual monitor system you can see what it does when I try to change the resolution. On the right side if you look at the resolution settings you can see which resolution I tried setting it to.

Thanks in advance

How to figure out the best gaming resolution

I recently got my Surface Book 2 and my resolution is set to 3240 x 2160 and scaling is at 225%.

I have seen different suggestions online, the most common seems to be 1920x1080, and I'm wondering how these are worked out?

I'm just a very casual gamer, but would still like to get the best quality picture.

errorr invalid Desktop resolution 0x0

I have the same issue, it started right after installing the Windows 10 Creator's Update.

Here is how I fixed it:

• Right-click the desktop, left click "Display Settings"
• Write down what your current resolution is (1920 x 1080 in my case), then change it to 800 x 600 and click "Keep Changes"
• Start Hoyle
• Exit Hoyle
• Right-click the desktop, left click "Display Settings"
• Change the resolution from 800 x 600 back to what you wrote down in step 2) and click "Keep Changes"
• Start Hoyle again and it should still work

Hoyle now works under the original resolution of 1920 x 1080 for me so this appears to be some glitch with the Windows 10 Creators Update fixed by changing the resolution and changing it back.
