Changing screen resolution in Windows operating system has always been easy. On Windows 10, Microsoft has changed the procedure by moving screen resolution options to the Settings app. To access it, right-click on the desktop, click Display settings to open the Display section on Settings, where you can change the screen resolution and other settings related to your PC’s screen.

Custom resolution in Windows 10

Usually, when you install a graphics driver or video driver, Windows displays all the supported resolutions under screen resolution settings. While it’s always a good idea to choose between one of the offered and supported resolution, at times, you might want to set custom display resolution on your Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 7 PC.

Custom Resolution Utility for Windows 10

Since Windows doesn’t permit you easily set custom display resolution, here is a tiny piece of software for the job.

custom resolution on Windows 10

Custom Resolution Utility is a free software designed to set a custom resolution on Windows 10, Windows 8.1, and Windows 7 with ease. The tool allows you to define custom resolutions for both AMD/ATI and NVIDIA GPUs. The downside is Custom Resolution Utility is not compatible with Intel graphics as Intel graphics don’t have EDID overrides, a technique used by Custom Resolution Utility to set, well, custom resolutions.

In addition to Intel graphics, the tool also doesn’t support computers with switchable graphics, meaning Custom Resolution Utility does not support laptops and desktops that allow you to switch between onboard and dedicated graphics. That is, if your PC has two or more graphics processors, you cannot use this tool to set a custom resolution on it.

And the best part is, Custom Resolution Utility is a standalone utility and can be run without installation.

The software is certainly not for novice users, and one must use this tool with caution. Visit the following page to read more about the usage and download Custom Resolution Utility.

    I am brand new to Windows 10, despite its long-term availability. I am having a resolution issue. I see I am not, and I am disturbed when I see this problem dates back to the original Windows 10. The two resolution choices I have are both too large for my screen. It appears I have managed to add a custom resolution setting through the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel, against their recommendations – danger – danger. . It is listed under the heading Custom Resolutions List; however, I do not see any opportunity to actually implement that custom setting. I’ve seen the same complaint throughout the forums, with Microsoft saying they are aware of that problem and their engineers are working on a fix. But those comments are very dated, yet the problem persists. It’s nearly 2018. How many more years will it take? But, perhaps I have overlooked something. This may be a silly question but would a larger screen monitor solve the problem? I have a 15-inch (approx.) monitor at this time, and it has been well-used and is quite dated. I don’t want to spend money and without resolutions (pun intended) of this resolution problem.

    Also, would a larger monitor be a solution? This is a major dilemma for me and I need it solved. I look forward to a speedy reply. Thank you.

    Thank you so much for this! Recently got a new monitor and things were cut-off on the left-hand side. This worked a charm, just adjusted the front porch to match the back porch and it’s perfect.

    VERY VERY Helpful. Had a Windows 10 update wipe out my Nvidia drivers, and couldn’t put the resolution back to 1366×768, but the custom resolution utility worked like a charm. Thanks!

    Screen got cut off with windows 10 and AMD HD4850. Since AMD does no longer release drivers, this fixed it by setting resolution from 1920×1080 to 1824×1026!

    Overnight the resolution (1024 x 768) – and maybe default font – has changed on our Dell Inspiron – and we hate it – very disconcerting – everything is short and wide – and the only alternative resolution is worse (800 X 600). Our computer display was exactly what we wanted – please please set it back or tell me how to do it.
