Upon boot-up, Windows forgets my monitor's native display resolution
Like my title states, upon boot-up, my Windows 10 64bit OS starts my PC in a 1080p display when my monitor's native display is 1440p. I have no idea why this is happening especially after all the troubleshooting steps I've taken/ think I've taken. When I start up my PC, it will display everything in 1080p resolution but when I go to display options or Nvidia Control Options, 1440p isn't even listed. It says that 1080p is the native display, which of course, it is not.
It all started when I did a clean install of my PC about 3-4 weeks ago. I installed everything but began to notice that my resolution would be all skrewy when I booted up. So I looked into things more and I figured it might be my GPU driver. Well, I reverted to an earlier driver and it still persisted. I updated my driver to the latest one and it still happens.
I looked at Device Manager and saw that my monitor was being displayed as a Generic PnP Monitor, so I figured my computer didn't have the proper firmware or it was corrupted or something like that. I looked all around but I couldn't find any firmware for the monitor, which is Asus pb278q. Its never done this before and only after I did a clean install has it been acting up.
When I did the clean install, I installed Windows 8.1 64bit and the problem started with that but now that I've upgraded to the free Win 10 OS, the problem still persists. I have literally tried, what feels like, everything.
Also, to add insult to injury, if I unplug my display port and plug it back in or if I go away for a while, the resolution eventually switches back to what it should be at. Maybe its my display port cable?
Does anyone have a solution to this problem. Please let me know and if more info is needed, please let me know!
Thanks
