Windows 10: You've done it AGAIN?! Why can't you keep the native resolution of my ULTRAWIDE SCREEN...

Nothing more to say. Makes me want to change platforms entirely.

Screen Resolution too big

Hello,

Firstly, try to install all the available Windows Updates and check if it fixes the issue.

I suggest you to change the screen resolution settings and check if it fixes the issue. Follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key and type Change Screen Resolution and click on the option listed.
• Under resolution try changing the resolution settings.

Also try to install the latest drivers from the manufacturer website and check.

Hope this will fix the issue, if not let us know with the updated status and we will be happy to assist you further.

 

Can't select 2560x1080 resolution for ultrawide monitor with Windows 10 1909 Update

OK. I connected my new LG Ultrawide monitor and still have the same problem, I can only get a max of 1920x1080 resolution. I decided to do the Windows 10 update 1909. After the update, I decided to uninstall the Intel UHD 630 driver, then reboot. When
the computer started back up, the resolution was 2560x1080, perfect; however, even though it was the right resolution, on the display settings, the resolution was grayed out. Within about a minute of the reboot (all the time, the computer wheel is spinning),
the monitor blinked and it was put back to 1920x1080! I think what was happening was the graphics driver was being reinstalled. Anyone have any suggestions on what my next step should be? All your help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

 

Force (correct) ultrawide resolution on Monitor

I have an LG Ultrawide monitor with a native resolution of 2560x1080, now paired with a Surface Pro 6 (SP6) running Windows 10 Pro x64 (I upgraded). I am using a Mini Display Port to HDMI adapter for display, via the Surface Pro 3 Dock.

The problem:

Originally the SP6 did not detect the monitor's brand and read it as "General PnP". After manually installing the driver from LG's website and the updating it via Windows, it is now recognized as "LG Ultrawide".

My Surface Pro 3, which was sold last year, worked fine with this setup.

More random things:

1. The same happened fresh out of the box with Windows 10 Home.
   
2. I am up to date with Windows 10 Pro.
   
3. I have tried the MiniDP on both the SP3 dock and machine.
   
4. Intel's website says I need to update my UHD 620 Graphics. Windows says it's up to date. Trying to install it anyway gives an error to the effect of "This is not for your machine".
   

Thoughts...

• It could be my adapter. But it worked fine for my SP3.
  
• My Thinkpad Yoga L380 works fine via HDMI, so likely the problem is not the monitor.
