Depends on what you mean by resolution. Is it just a lower resolution or does it look like it's running at a lower bit depth?
I actually have to run 8.1 on my older laptop with a GTX840m. A Windows 10 update early this year basically killed driver compatibility for it. People sometimes need older OSes still
Did you check the display scaling as well as the resolution? They're two different settings and display scaling will do everything from make the UI look blown up to crash lots of older games (especially DX9 and back).
Except the fact driver from vista still work all the way till 10 and the 840M came out 1 year before windows 10 final release,plus testing was out October the same year that gpu got released.I actually have to run 8.1 on my older laptop with a GTX840m.

Tell that to pretty much every game I tried to run on a fresh W10 install and hours wasted with DDU. The onboard Intel stuff was fine, but the minute I updated my drivers past what came on my support disc, anything trying to render with the 840m would crash. On Win8.1, up-to-date drivers with no problem.
Never in a million years
Well it definitely isn’t HD anymore and the screen size is bigger than it’s supposed to be. This was all perfectly fine before updating
are you even installing the correct gfx drivers? Do yourself a favour and install Cpuz and report back.
I installed the drivers that came on the disc with the GPU. It shouldn't be the drivers though since it was fine before the update
Make sure display scaling is set to 100%.
I can't access my PC right now so I won't be able to take a picture but what I mean by low quality is that it has gone blurry. similar to the way things look when you use an AV cable instead of HDMI (which I am using)Make sure display scaling is set to 100%.
Also, can you explain what you mean by the quality being bad (maybe take a picture?)
okay then. I would have gone with windows 7 but I couldn't install it because the installer doesn't work with USB 3.0 and I have no disc drive
so I upgraded to windows 10 and everything seemed to be working perfectly. However, I left my PC on for a bit and when I came back the resolution had gone bad again. Is this some kind of automatic setting? Does it have anything to do with the fact that my monitor turned itself off?
