Resolution Problem
Hi Everyone
Have a bit of a problem, just put a new monitor onto my Windows 10 machine after my friend through his camera into my old one and broke it. I was playing around with the screen resolution to see what it could display, unfortunately I selected a screen resolution that is not compatible with my monitor and now all it displays is a "screen out of range" message. Of course in the older versions of windows this was not a problem because it had a count down timer and unless you excepted the changes it would revert back to the last resolution used.
In Windows 10 this feature appears to have been removed so I am now stuck on a resolution that will not display on my monitor, does anybody know how to revert back to a lower resolution whilst not having access to the desktop screen or any other apps. I have found mention of some command line apps like QRes but they require me to be running the command line whilst in the Windows environment. If I create a recovery drive there does not appear to be an option to adjust the resolution available on the drive options, also and annoyingly the F8 command on start up no longer works with Windows 10, so I cannot even select safe mode to change it back, yes I know safe mode can be switched on but that feature requires me to be running the windows desktop to gain access to it, which I am not able to access at present.
So for the time being I am stuck with my screen set to a resolution that will not display, any help would be very appreciated.
