Windows 10 question re: screen resolution [View all]

Unknown to me the electrical outlet my computer (laptop) was plugged in to went bad. As a result the battery drained down to where the battery saver enacted and went into safe mode.

I plugged into another outlet and the battery began charging as normal.

But now I can't get the screen resolution back to normal from the enlarged safe mode.

Make sure your monitor is recognized as a plug and play monitor in device manager. PeeJ52 Feb 2019 #2

Yeah.. usually for people that don't know much about drivers, I find my suggestion the easiest... PeeJ52 Feb 2019 #8

Are you IN Safe Mode (per the labels at top/bottom screen on boot)? mr_lebowski Feb 2019 #3

Well, now I'm not so sure I am in safe mode. BarbaRosa Feb 2019 #4

You can still check msconfig as I instructed above ... mr_lebowski Feb 2019 #5
