Windows 10: Windows 11 External Monitor Resolution Issue After Sleep

I am experiencing a persistent issue with external monitors on multiple Windows 11 devices. Every time my PC locks and enters sleep mode, upon logging back in, one of my external monitors or the only external monitor switches to a lower resolution and cannot be changed back via display settings. The only workaround is to physically disconnect and reconnect the monitor after waiting at least 3 seconds.This issue occurs consistently across two different systems, eliminating hardware or driver-related causesell Precision 7680Windows 11 Pro, Version 10.0.22631 Build 22631Intel 13850HX No dedi

External Monitor with Quicken

Hi Mark,

It is possible that the display resolution automatically adjusts after connecting to an external monitor. For us to properly isolate this issue, we have some questions for you:

• Are you experiencing the same issue even without using the Quicken tool?
• Have you checked if the display resolution settings of the Surface device and the external monitor is the same?
• Have you tried checking for a graphics device driver update?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done to isolate the issue?
  

We're looking forward to your response.

 

Netbook external monitor resolution issues

I am having issues with external monitor resolution in my netbook with Windows 10

Monitor: HP Pavilion 22cw, (my current desktop monitor) using VGA

If I select "Extend desktop" then the monitor is set to 1920x1080 just fine and the netbook's screen shows fine.
But if I select it to output just to the external monitor, then the resolution menu is greyed out and the resolution is stuck at 800x600. Obviously, the netbook screen turns off.

AFAIK with Win 7 I hadn't any issues.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

 

external monitor screen resolution seems off

Hi guys,

I just updated my graphic driver for my external monitor and all of the sudden, the resolution of my 2nd monitor looks odd. The scaling is a lot bigger and the task bar at the bottom of my screen is bigger on my 2nd monitor. How do I resolve this issue?

Any help is appreciated.

Hi guys,

I have resolved the issue. Because I've updated to the latest graphic drivers, it only provides me fewer display resolution options and didn't have the optimal display resolution for a 24 inch monitor from the drop down list. Therefore, I rolled back to the old driver and it allowed me to pick the correct resolution from the drop down list.

All is good now. Hope this would also help others who faced the similar issue.
