Windows 10: Wrong screen resolution

Hi,

I've just updated my home PC to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1. I have an ASUS VS239 HR monitor with a true resolution of 1920 x 1080.

Unfortunately the only screen resolution option for my PC that appears in the Windows 10 control panel is 1024 x 768 which means that all writing on the screen is huge. How can I change the resolution? (I'm not a technical wizard, so apologies if this is obvious!)

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Excellent tip. I got back to the best resolution. I was stuck at 1280 and now back at 19++. Thanks

This is a joke. I can't update my drivers. The windows 10 update has made everything unable to be processed, which means I can't update the drivers to fix the problems the update caused.

 

Sounds like you need to install the video driver for your graphics card/chip.

 

Thanks - where would I be able to find this?

 

Look in Device manager under Display Adapter,any yellow exclamation points under this device ? Left click to open, see what it show there, let us know first.

This is basics of changing the resolution, but first need to know brand Display adapter you have.

Yes, there is a yellow exclamation mark under Display Adapter. It's listed as an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti.

I left clicked on the item in Device Manager as advised, and the device status said: 'This device cannot work properly until you have restarted your computer. (Code 14)

You need to restart your computer before the changes that you made to this device will take effect.


Click Restart Computer to restart your computer.'

So is it simply a case of rebooting the PC?

 

Fine - I restarted the computer and the problem with the wrong screen resolution has been solved. The correct resolution of 1920 x 1080 is now displayed. Thanks to everyone for their help!

 

Glad it worked, did not know how long been since you did the upgrade either Windows 10 had downloaded the driver from NVIDIA . Once i knew could of directed you to site for it, but it's done now, if any further help can ask here or resolve the post
