Windows 10: Till this day I can not set my resolution to 1920x1080 after the Anniversary update.

So after updating Windows past an old build I was using (think it was 1511) my monitor defaults to 1600x1200 for no apparent reason, when it's a 1080p monitor, nothing helped, not driver updates, not windows updates, nothing, I've read tons of posts regarding this issue and nothing seems to work. The only thing that DID kind of work was using a tool called custom resolution utility which DOES make windows see the resolution but it doesn't always work, it has also created tons of bugs, like when I turn on the computer it sometimes makes the drivers go into a reset-loop causing the screen to flicker on and off, the only remedy I have found was to restart the PC, after which it gets fixed. Some of the games don't even start up and cause the same restart loop again, the only fix to it being to tweak the launch options of the game to force into borderless windowed mode.
I've had this problem before but it was easily fixed by turning off EDID in the old Catalyst drivers.
Sadly, with the new crimson drivers that option seems to be gone or I can't find it.

I've already tried to reinstall drivers, I've even installed a fresh copy of windows and it still defaults to 1600x1200 with no way to change it without using 3rd party software (in this case CRU). I'd also like to add that the default custom res thing that comes with the drivers does not work and causes the same flickering About my PC:
It's a Philips monitor with only VGA in, so I have to use a DVI to VGA converter to connect it to my PC

No 1920x1080 resolution option


My screen suddenly went from 1920x1080 to 1024x768 in the middle of running Windows 10.
Never had this problem before and the resolution was just fine on Windows 10 until this happened.
This would be easy to fix if the Resolution options in the Display menu had 1920x1080, but they only go up to 1280x1024!
I tried downloading and manually (Update driver > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer) installing the driver, even though Windows 10 insisted "the best driver for this device is already installed"!
I also tried switching to Generic PnP Monitor and back. Although this affected the resolution somehow, it didn't solve the problem.
And for the record: There is NO Advanced display settings option in the Display menu.
Why can't there just be a 1920x1080 resolution option?
How do I fix this?

Windows 10 set display resolution to 1920x1080?

Windows 10 set display resolution 1920x1080? From one minute to the next I lost the ability to change the monitor resolution. Now I have a Play-skool computer. Is there a better Windows driver that supports higher resolution? Everything was working
fine?
