Intel Celeron N2840, Windows 10 and Custom Resolution

YPopo — Thu, 21 Jul 2016 12:15:37 GMT

Hi all,

I have a problem. I have a Lenovo notebook with Intel Celeron N2840 processor. It works fine for simple tasks. I want to connect it to Dell monitor. Dell monitor has QHD (2560x1440) resolution. The main problem that I can't run custom resolution app on Windows 10.

I installed the latest driver via Intel Driver Update Utility. This driver doesn't have Custom Resolution option in Intel Control Panel. It has CustomModeApp in Windows System32 folder, but I can't run this app on Windows 10 (do nothing).

How can I setup custom resolution on this notebook? Intel Control Panel has Custom Resolutions tab in new driver versions, but I can't install them on this processor/video chip.

Thanks,

Yehor

Hi Yehor,

I recommend you to test first with the latest driver provide by your manufacturer, if you still cannot find the graphics panel, could be because we sell our Intel chipsets and processors to third party manufacturers, like Lenovo*, they design their own computers with their own features, settings and capabilities. For that reason they design their own drivers, to meet the exact specifications on their computers.

You could try uninstalling current driver version installed, use this method;

Open the Device Manager.
Find the Intel Graphics Driver.
Right click Intel Graphics Driver and select Uninstall.
Select the check box
Delete the driver software for this device.
Reboot the computer after uninstall process has finished.

Then try with Lenovo's* latest driver:

If you want to you could try with our generic driver:

Hi Hellen,

I tried all drivers which I found.

I have a 64 bit Windows 10. Seems as Intel hasn't updated a driver for 64 bit Windows version.

Old drivers have a problem with CustomModeApp (it can't work on windows 8.1 and 10). New drivers have Custom Resolution option inside Intel Control Panel, but I can't find any new driver for my processor and 64 bit Windows

Thanks,

Yehor

Hi Hellen,

First of all - thanks for your time!

This is the latest driver for 64bit Windows 10. But its version is 15.33.43.4425.

For 32bit version latest is 15.40.1.4256

From googling, I found that versions before 15.35 have problems with CustomModeApp on Window 10. And only in 15.35 Intel added a Custom Resolution option inside Intel Control Panel.

Thanks,

Yehor

Hey, I am experiencing the same issue on the same driver version (4425) but the device is the Intel HD 4000 series.

The custom resolution shows up in the CustomModeApp but Windows and the Intel Graphics Control Panel does not show the resolution up at all.

I have tried changing the scaling settings and that has not changed anything. I am trying to change my refresh rate to 72 instead of 60 in steps of 2 but still none of the resolutions will appear even after a reboot.

And lastly, I ran the CustomModeApp.exe as an administrator with no change in result.

Thanks.

Hi,

Since you have an OEM keep in mind that not all computers manufacturers have the Custom Modes/Resolution feature enabled in the Intel graphics driver. Older Intel generic graphics drivers do not enable this feature.

I have 3 laptops, all with HD 4000's and none of them can see the Custom Resolutions (One Dell, second Panasonic and third HP).

I strongly believe that this is an compatibility issue between the driver and Windows 10.

Re: Intel Celeron N2840, Windows 10 and Custom Resolution

YPopo — Wed, 03 Aug 2016 19:52:52 GMT

Yes. This is a compatibility problem. In the new version, they implemented Custom Resolutions inside Intel Control Panel interface, and they work fine in Windows 10.

Hi,

Thanks Yehor, Older Intel generic graphics drivers do not enable this feature. NeoReaper third party manufacturers, like Lenovo*, Dell*, Panasonic* or HP*, they design their own computers with their own features, settings and capabilities they design their own drivers.

3rd Generation Intel® Core™ Processors with Intel® HD Graphics 4000, Ivy Bridge, supports Windows® 10 but with this warning:

6 - Windows 10 drivers for 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ Processors with Intel® HD Graphics 4000 and 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ Processors with Intel® HD Graphics 2500 (formerly codenamed Ivy Bridge) will include support for Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) 1.3. For reference, WDDM 1.2 features are available on Microsoft's website. This Windows 10 driver won't be digitally signed, which means that it hasn' been tested by Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL). Note that Windows will alert you with a message if a driver is not digitally signed, but you can continue the installation.

I never use the drivers from the manufacturer's website considering ALL of their graphics drivers are about 2-3 years out of date. I always use the drivers supplied from Intel's website.

PWats2 — Fri, 05 Aug 2016 15:10:02 GMT

I have this to add, Panasonic CONFIRMED with me via email that the laptop in question fully supports custom resolutions. Its the driver's compatibility that is at fault.

idata — Fri, 05 Aug 2016 21:01:23 GMT

Hi NeoReaper,

Thanks for let me know that.

Since it is e OEM product, it is recommended the customize driver from the laptop manufacturer; I suggest you to ask them the configuration you require in order to set the custom resolution you are looking for.

Regards,

Hellen.

I am just bumping this since I am awaiting a reply from Panasonic regarding this problem but I strongly still believe the driver is at fault.

Hi NeoReaper,

It is important to mention that we sell our Intel chipsets and processors to third party manufacturers and they design their own computers with their own features, settings and capabilities. For that reason they design their own drivers, to meet the exact specifications on their computers.

Since it is e OEM product, I recommended you the customize driver from the laptop manufacturer.

Well I guess just to finish this off, I am completely unsatisfied with the replies from both Intel and Panasonic, neither of you are willing to accept responsibility and provide help, instead Panasonic refuse to update the driver as they believe nothing is wrong with their one that they made in 2013. 2013... Let that sink in for a second, not only does it provide no support for Windows 10 officially, it also leaves me out of MANY performance fixes and bug patches if I managed to get the driver installed (Which would mean I would have to edit the drivers inf file myself). I don't mean to sound rude but if a company asked you to fix it you would so why is it soo hard as a consumer to get an answer and/or a resolution to this problem?

Hi NeoReaper,

I'm really sorry about that, we sell our Intel chipsets and processors to system manufacturers like Panasonic* and they design their own computers with their own features, settings and capabilities. We provide the generic driver for the controller; they design their own drivers from our generic driver, to meet the exact specifications on their computers.

Hellen.

Well there is only one other way I can go about this, which is to hop onto the EDID override threads since thats the only other way I guess I can go about this.
