Have a GTX 560TI gpu, running W10 and for display a Samsung S23C650 monitor
normally set to 1970 x 1080

Today a driver update program was run (Drive Booster 4) to check for driver update, and now I have only 1024 x 768 as max resolution - assume the driver update program did this. (though 'could' be coincidence)

If I go to Start > settings> control panel > display it only shows 1024 x 768 (or lower)
If I go to Nvidia control panel it also only shows 1024 x 768 and lower

The adapter states driver is 21.21.13.7290
Monitor is shown as Generic plug & play - there is no W10 driver on Samsung site

I tried system restore to before Driver update run - this has not cleared the fault.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks for explanation on system restore - I thought it did drivers - especially as it showed a restore point for the 'Driver Boost start'

An update on this issue -

Rolled back driver - no change

Tried to find correct driver on Nvidia site but it keeps failing as it wants Java installed and none of the W10 browser will work - even though I run Java installer - get same request to install Java.

Used W10 'find driver' - it updated - no change

Samsung do not list a W10 driver for the monitor on their site - W10 'find driver' can't find one.

Left PC overnight and today booted up and all back to normal
The NVidia control panel shows resolution back to 1920 x 1080 and all the other resolutions in place ... it also shows...

No I'm just so old that I can't remember the correct spelling by the time I've scrolled back down to where I'm typing.

Hi

I just had this happen myself, there must be some bug in the Nvidia driver update.
During the process my monitor went black, but this time didn't come back on.

I finally realized that it had turned itself off.
When I turned it back on my computer was rebooting with the basic mother board video driver.

Once I started the install over again it completed and everything went back to normal.
