If you’re a looking for a way to adjust your screen resolution in a newly installed Windows 10 operating system, then this is the article you’re looking for. You want clarity of images and text, right? It’s only possible with the help of the display resolution or screen resolution feature of the operating system. At high resolution, images and text look sharp and clean. On the other hand, using low-resolution images and text looks very unattractive on the display. So if you want clean and awesome screen it’s better to go with high-resolution settings or the recommended settings suggested by your intelligent operating system.

After installing a new Windows operating system (For example Windows 10) when you try to install graphic drivers, the system automatically sets the recommended resolution. Most of the time, users don’t even visit these resolution settings to change the recommended or default screen resolution. But you might have noticed that while playing game or software, the game or software default resolution changes automatically and you need to restore the original screen resolution manually, which is a pain.

Yesterday while checking all the new features and system settings of Windows 10, I found the screen resolution option missing in the Windows 10 desktop context menu and you may know that in the earlier version of Windows, you can access the screen resolution option just by right-clicking on the desktop.

There is a good news: the screen resolution feature is not missing and is still available, but with a different name. In Windows 10, you can access the screen resolution option, which is still available in the desktop context menu but with different name: “Display Settings”. In simple words, when you right click on the desktop, you’ll see the “Display Settings” option instead of screen resolution. Microsoft has moved all the settings to the new Settings app.

Due to this changes made by Microsoft, changing the screen resolution has become a more difficult task to do. But actually, it’s not as difficult as it looks. Follow the steps below to locate the display settings in Windows 10
