Hello y'all. I have an unusual problem with my display resolution.
As many others, I have an older Dell laptop with an Intel Graphics 3000 adapter. Like many others, Windows 10 suddenly won't let me change the resolution to 1920. But in my unique case this happens only ONCE IN A WHILE. A restart usually solves the problem and I'm back at 1920. How can this be?
The issue was most likely caused by one of the Windows Updates in February 2022. As for driver, I had the newest one released by Intel in 2016. What I tried: remove "Intel Graphics 3000" from Device Manager, then let it install again; and install an older driver, for Windows 8, released in 2015 (this seemed to solve some issues for some people here in the forum). But all this didn't help me. As I said, the issue appears ~50% of the time, so I guess my driver is fully capable of displaying 1920.
I guess if I revert the appropriate Windows Update the issue might go away. But how do I find the right Update? Should I just revert to the way it was in January? How do I do this concretely? And is this a good solution? Maybe there were important security patches in the Update.
Any other insight? Thanks a lot!
