Windows 10: Unable to start up in recommended screen resolution

Hi,I set my screen resolution to the recommended 3440 x 1440 for my monitor using the Display Control Panel, by selecting that resolution from the drop-down list.Upon restarting the PC however my Windows 10 always boots in 2560 x 1440 resolution, and if I try to use programs like QRES or Powershell scripts invoking User32.ChangeDisplaySettings I always get an error, despite 3440 x 1440 being listed as an available resolution by these programs/methods.1. How do I make Windows save and start up using the recommended resolution? I have to manually set it every time after a restart of Windows.2. W

:)
