Can't change resolution in game (all games)

[Frost]

dunno why but i just realised that i can't change resolution in game (all games). It works couple days ago.. but now it's stuck in 1920 x 1080.. and some of my games are badly optimized like Dishonored 2 and i need to change the resolution down to 1600 x 900 to get better performance, but i can't change it idk why.

So for example in Dishonored 2 if i want to change resolution i go to my video settings and there is the Resolution settings. It should display all supported resolution, but it just shows 1920 x 1080 meaning there is no other resolution that i can change.

Please note that this just happened. I don't remember installing any graphics drivers this week..

^ This, but rather DDU out all the Drivers; Intel and NVIDIA
Then download the most recent versions of these and install:

Intel Chipset INF
Intel HD Graphics 630
NVIDIA Geforce (GTX 10 series Notebooks)

You install Display Driver Uninstaller from Guru3D or Wagnard soft (the site of the guy that makes it) and then run it, it will ask you to boot to safe mode from there, do it (don't forget your Windows password because it will ask you that in safe mode). After that, in safe mode you'll just click on uninstall drivers and it'll uninstall them.

A known trusty app.

Download ddu here:
https://www.wagnardsoft.com/DDU/download/DDU%20v17.0.8.0.exe

Extract the files -> run the extracted Display Driver Uninstaller.exe -> Follow the warning message and use the "Safe Mode" after selecting "Safe Mode" click on "Reboot" -> u’ll see three buttons -> click on "Clean and restart".

Let ddu work and restart, after the successful restart -> install the new gpu driver.

I don't remember to put any windows password, correct me if there's an automatically password.

A normal auto login is accomplished by having a blank password. However, this may apply. This is for Windows 7

That still applies to Win8/10
If there is only a single user account with no password. Otherwise, once you add a 2nd user on the system, then OS boot will stop at the login screen so you can click which user to login to. I would never go and attach a Live Account to the Windows User; just use Local Account

I DDU every GPU driver (Intel and nvidia) and installed the latest, but the games are still locked to the maximum resolution, any other advice?
