Windows 10: Windows 10 resolution problem

Hello, I don't know anything about PCs so here I am. My resolution suddenly changed to 1600x1200 from Idk what was the settings before but I have a MSI Optix G24 Series monitor with an AMD Radeon r7 video card. I looked up in google what would be the recommended resolution for it and it showed 1900x1200. I tried changing it in the display settings but the max resolution I can get is 1600x1200. I also tried looking at the advanced settings but it only shows the settings, I can't change anything. I then tried to install a new driver for my graphics card which is the Radeon software 2020. I tried the custom resolution creation area and I inputted 1920x1200, it work for like a min but then it suddenly turned to black screen for a sec and returned to 1600x1200 resolution. The software says 1920x1200 but when I look at the settings, it says 1600x1200. How do I fix this? TYIA!

Windows 10 - Screen Resolution Problem

Hi Watashi,

Welcome and thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. We appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

I understand the inconvenience that you are unable to change the screen resolution, we will help you with this issue.

I suggest you to update the Display Adapter Drivers

Step 1: Update the Display Adapter driver.

• Press Windows key + X key when you are at desktop.
• Select Device Manager.
• Expand Display Adapter.
• Right on the Display Adapter and click on
  Update driver software.

Refer to: How to: Install and Update drivers in
Windows 10

Step 2: Please follow the below steps to change the resolution of the screen and check:

• 
  Type Change screen resolution in the
  Search box from the desktop.
  
• 
  Under Resolution search for the
  Recommended resolution and click on Apply.
  
• 
  A windows pops up saying "Keep these display settings", then select
  Keep changes.
  

I would like to inform that, there will be a recommended resolution for all the computers, and if you select more than the recommended resolution the screen would not support for that.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
