Screen Resolution Windows 10 Driver
Vannessa Rataj
Windows 10 update changed screen resolution and eliminated original screen resolution options. Options are now limited to 3 and do not allow 1600x900 max resolution of my display. AMD Radeon 4500 driver is updated but, apparently does not support Windows 10. Is there another driver that I can download for free to replace AMD Radeon 4500? Is there a workaround other than doing a system restore daily or reverting back to Windows 7 Home Premium?
I'm glad it worked for you. Mine was also wierd because if I went through control panel, device manager, it would show the ATI Radeon (new version) but if I went through right click desktop, display settings, display adapter settings, I thought it was showing a basic Microsoft adapter (maybe I'm imagining things). I also read somewhere that some people started experiencing the issue after a C++ security update - I tried uninstalling it but it didn't help me.
Thanks WadeT! I chatted online with Microsoft today (11/26/17) and their solution was to pay for support or email me some free options. I opted for the free options which were worth what I paid for them. I found the solution that worked, here, by way of google. I have an HP laptop DV7 and I hadn't turned it on for a week. After booting it up and using it for about a half hour, I heard a weird chime and my resolution changed. When I used WadeT's solution I heard the same chime when the old driver was reinstalled by Windows. Btw, let Windows tell you when it's done updating the driver. Don't panic. The screen will go dark several times and change a few windows before it stops and tells you it's completed the update.
I work in personal finance. As a way of expressing my appreciation for your help, I would like to share what I know with you for free so that, when you reach my age, you will be financially independent. Please feel free to contact me at abke...@gmail.com or 914-563-+4740 (Cell/Text).
Fujitsu dont make finding drivers terribly easy. Used the Intel Graphics driver from the Downloads area for a TX1310 M3 and got the resolution back. Thing is it was only in the last week the resoution went south
Embarrassed to ask here but I am using QEMU/KVM VM to run Windows 10 VM.
I had a problem with a persistent failure to install an update. It was suggested that I might have been using an older .iso download and that I should try the latest download.
Hi Malcolm,
I remember doing this a while ago but on the VM that is working as wanted with great resolution, in the Device Manager window on the Win10 system all I have is this:-
Microsoft Basic Display Adaptor.
No PCI adaptor or Red Hat VirtiO GPU DOD controller.
Very strange.
My notes not clear so I do not recall how or when I downloaded the Red Hat virtio driver but there is no sign of it even though my existing (old) Win 10 VM is working with all the required resolution options.
Well after several abortive attempts I now have a second Windows 10 VM which seems to be working fine and I can select 2568 x 1440 resolution without any difficulty. I did not download the Red Hat virtio driver but the system may have found it somewhere in my system without me having to add anything.
Hi Malcolm, this has become a bit of a challenge. I was fine with getting my Win_10 VM machines up and running. I am not sure why the Red Hat virtio driver is preferred over the one I had working (at least on one machine) but I used the Red Hat one as instructed.
Bottom line is I have mastered things so far until I reached the point of trying to install Win_11. Even with the link you gave me I am still struggling but will start a new thread once I have tried the various options from the links.
If I do the same thing on a W_10 system (not a VM but an installed W10 system,) I cannot get a matching hash file when I use the windows certutil -hashfile SHA256 command. Tried several methods but always the same. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
I think I do have real hardware but clearly I am not using it correctly!
Meanwhile workstation system is totally borked. I am going to order a new NIC as you suggested.
Meanwhile I need help just getting a plain single network connection. See my post on Network Forum hre
Screen is working at all resolutions, tried different hdmi cables and even updated hdmi firmware. it happened to me about a month ago, a windows update next day the same problem, solved it by reverting to previous driver. but now i am unable and the new one i installed from here dosnt make it either.
After checking the system information provided, we noticed that the graphics driver installed in your system is 31.0.101.4672. Our latest driver is currently version 31.0.101.4826, we recommend you perform a Clean Installation of Intel Graphics Drivers. Let us know if the issue remains.
We also noticed that you shared partially the system reports. We would like to ask for the entire report, as the inforamtion missing will help us. For example, in the IGCC report, the display EDID is missing, as well as other information from the SSU. Instead of copying and pasting the information, you can attach the files in your next response.
We appreciate you for all the information provided. We understand that you need some time to try the clean installation. We will wait for your answer to confirm the outcome before providing you with new recommendations.
I know it's hard to understand, but the capabilities of an HDMI port are not dominated by the graphics card but by the other technology that an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) like Dell uses on the way from the processor to the port.

With Windows 7 and Windows 8, when you right-click the desktop and select screen resolution, you would see the dialogue box below which highlights the monitor model names. With Windows 10, when you right-click the desktop you no longer can access this like you could on Windows 7 and Windows 8. (See Figure 1.)
Unlike the graphics card driver, which requires a specific driver for full functionality, usually a dedicated Display Driver is not required.
For Dell plug and play monitors, a dedicated Windows 10 driver for the display that is connected to the system is not needed. The Windows 10 operating system will automatically read the monitor Extended display identification data (EDID). If your monitor calibration software or other software needs a specific monitor INF file, you may install the monitor Windows 8/8.1 driver into Windows 10.
Does the Windows 10 Device Manager show that the monitor is connected by displaying it as, "Generic PNP Monitor"? (Yes/No)
Do the computer and monitor allow the monitors native/prime resolution? (Yes/No)
If using a touch monitor, does touch function? (Yes/No)
The following displays do have WHQL certified display drivers for Windows 10 available on the Dell Support/Drivers and Downloads In the Browse for a product box, click View Products, Select Monitors and Projectors, then Select Monitors, then select your display model. Any drivers for your display will be in the Drivers and downloads section:
The problem is that I would like to use a larger size display that is configured by default.Both guest OSes have a maximum screen resolution of 1024x768. I would like to increase this to something like 1280x900 or 1440x900. The resolution of the host system is 1920x1080.
Basically, the virtual machine loads its own virtual driver. Hardware virtualization is necessary because virtual disk images are often copied to many different systems with diverse architectures. By abstracting the hardware the vm images are capable of doing this.
As explained there, QEMU has a feature which automatically updates the resolution as you increase the host window size e.g. by dragging the borders with your mouse. But it also works if you go into the guest Ubuntu resolution settings. But if you select a huge guest resolution with a tiny host window, that will of course be useless (QEMU will have to sample multiple pixels into one), so generally you just want to let QEMU automatically scale for you.
As of 2014, if you want to get better than the 1024x768 resolution offered by the Cirrus vGPU, and you are running KVM as your hypervisor on an x86_64 hostOS platform, you should look into using the QXL vGPU driver in the guestOS, coupled with the spice-server display. This can be configured from your virt-manager GUI settings (or of course from CLI args).
In my case, I created the VM using virt-install, put the OS on the vHDD using the normal vnc-style control and the normal cirrus-vGPU. Once everything was working, and all guestOS (and hostOS) software updates had been applied, I used virt-manager to change from vnc-display to spice-graphics, and from cirrus-video to QXL-video. It also helps to add the 'channel' to your VM for spice-vdagent[d] running inside the guest, which allows you to cut-n-paste data in between guestOS apps and hostOS apps pretty decently.
Besides offering high resolutions, the QXL/spice setup was a big improvement over the Cirrus/VNC setup when watching videos in the guestOS -- I actually got some thermal-trip warnings from the CPU when attempting to watch fullscreen videos in 1024x768 Cirrus/VNC, but the laptop ran cool and the fans were quiet when doing fullscreen 1920x1080 video with the more-efficient QXL/spice option. There are limitations on what sort of installations are supported by QXL/spice, but if your system(s) can use them, they are recommended for improved 2D and video-playback. -kvm.org/page/SPICE , scroll down to "Enabling SPICE using virt-manager". I wasn't prompted to add the channel, as the page claims, but it wasn't hard to add manually. If you are working with windows-guestOSes, or having trouble with the brief instructions at the linux-kvm.org site, see here -- -space.org/page/Documentation (but beware both the wiki and the main site are WOEFULLY out-of-date with many pages from 2009 through 2012, so tread carefully). The project is actively developed, but not very actively documented.
