    Windows 11 resolution decreases every time I close my PC or restart it, I have to switch...


    When ever I put my PC to sleep mode, shutting it down or restarting it, my main monitor display resolution decreases and I can’t change it back unless I switch the HDMI cables from my other monitor. My monitor’s optimal mode resolution is 1920x1080 but the windows 11 settings locked it to 1024x768.I’ve tried rolling back my graphics driver, updating my windows and the graphics driver but none of the advice online seemed to work.

    Screen resolution suddenly decreased Windows 10

    My screen resolution suddenly decreased. I use (legal) win 10 for 3 years, reinstalled about half years ago. Last week my screen suddenly turned to black and then it came back with a lower resolution. Since then I cannot fix it, tried a lot of things.

    1. Desktop Resolution

    Obviously first I've checked the Resolution in the desktop's properties. (The highest one is 1600x1200 and I've set that for comfort but it's scretched).

    1. Default properties

    Then I checked the default properties where I saw (and I don't know if it was different before the problem but I guess) Processor, DAC, Adapter, BIOS details are unknown (Grafics mem/Shared mem: 3967MB,Dedicated/System videomemory: 0MB) in the modes I can't change for a higher resolution because the monitor goes off if I set any higher. The monitor type: Generic PnP Monitor and Microsoft Basic Display Driver.

    1. Update drivers

    Then I've tried to update the adapter (auto detect says it's up to date, I don't know what does adapter mean so I cannot download a driver for it but I've downloaded "driver talent" that couldn't install a ATI Radeon 4000 HD because device was not recognized). Then I've tried to update monitor (up to date, and if I download the most recent driver it is not change anything, ASUS VW223D monitor type).

    1. Uninstall, disable

    In device manager I've tried to disable monitor to force re-recognition but it didn't work. Then I've uninstalled and restarted the computer. It didn't work as well. Then I used Display Driver Uninstaller, PC showed blue screen death then restarted. It couldn't boot so I pulled off everything then back, turned off power took out little battery and the memory cards then back. Then after a couple restart it could boot. Problem was the same but I've waited because I thought it is because of the uninstall, and after 1 hour it worked. Changed the screen to the proper resolution. It took for 10 or 15 minute, then it turned back to the low resolution.

    1. What's next?

    Some info: I have integrated video card, so the graphic specific stuff has always ran slow but it is acceptable for me. I use HDMI sometimes (but now it's not connected, and there's no other screen) I've checked cables, and screen with laptop (by the way it a desktop pc) and other monitor, everything worked well. Windows didn't update (I mean shortly) before the problem. CPU: AMD Athlon II X3 425

    So I need solution, I don't want to reinstall windows (my experience it's not permanently problem will come back after a little time) or replace anything in PC. Is there any tips that I could try out?

    EDIT:

    I found some kind of solution with the GPU overclocking (on GPU with ATI Radeon driver) They suggest to raise the voltage or decrease the CPU clock. I don't want to try it before I'm not sure that It can't make any harm. Is there anybody who had used this solution for some problem?

    PS: Sorry for my grammer mistakes!
     
  3. Taskbar bug: switching to another window -will not appear at the front


    Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

    1. Press Windows key + X key and click on Control Panel.
    2. Select or click Ease of Access.
    3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
    4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
    5. Check if issue is resolved.
    Method 2:
    I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

    1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
    2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
    3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
    4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
    5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.
