  1. Windows displaying bigger then it should. Unable to change resolution


    I have been searching online for awhile now on how to fix my issues. I have a PC that displays too big for its display. Normally I would go to display settings and change the resolution, however the screen is so big I am unable to scroll. Below is what I have tried. 1. Tried to change resolution, can't scroll.2. Update display driver3. Uninstalled display driver then reinstalled. 4. Ran updates. Is there a way to change the resolution when you can't change it in the display settings? Thanks in advance for your help.

    :)

  2. Display resolution keeps changing

    Hi Rick,

    It might be caused by a faulty driver that's why your display resolution keeps changing. We
    suggest that you uninstall and reinstall the display driver, see steps below:

    • Press Windows key + X and click on
      Device Manager.
    • For graphics cards, expand the Display adapters category, right click your graphics card and select Uninstall.
    • Restart your PC and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Windows 10 unable to change correct display resolution

    I am unable to correctly display my screen resolution. When changing the resolution under the advanced windows settings it seems to display some of the lower end settings correctly but when selecting the recommended 1920x1080 the display is incorrect
    and appears to be about 1600x900. I have tried multiple reboot/ safe mode, uninstall nvidea drivers/ reinstalled drivers, removing and installing the physical nvidea 650ti card without success. It was working fine for couple months, then changing between
    some application that changed the resolution it won't return to normal. Suggestions?
