After the most recent Windows 11 update, the Ultrawide monitor resolution is not supported

[R_Mendis]

After installing the latest Windows update, I noticed that my Ultrawide monitor's resolution is no longer being supported properly. Prior to the update, the monitor displayed content at its native resolution without any issues. However, following the update, the resolution options seem limited, and the display quality has notably decreased. This has affected both my work efficiency and the visual experience while using my computer.

Steps Taken: I have attempted to update graphics drivers, adjust display settings, and reboot the system, but the issue persists.

Hello R_Mendis,

Thank you for posting on the Intel communities. I see your Intel® UHD Graphics for 11th Gen Intel® Processors does not display the desired resolution, I understand how important is this for you, and I am more than happy to help you.

Just to have a better idea of the issue, please answer the questions below:

• What port are you using to connect the display?
• I see you mentioned the Display Name is LG HDR WFHD, but what is the make and model?
• I noticed your display is running at 1920x1080, what is the resolution you want to use?

Hi Andres P.

Thank you for offering your assistance. 

Laptop Model: Dell Vostro 3500 (i3).

• I'm using the HDMI port
• Model LG 29WN600-W 29-inch 21:9 UltraWide WFHD IPS HDR10 Monitor
• My monitor supports 2560 x 1080 (21:9) resolution, but after a latest Windows update, it only displays 1920x1080 (16:9), and it now looks like the image below.

(For your reference, I've already asked about this in the Microsoft community, but I have not received an update or solution yet. answers.microsoft. )

Hi Andres P.

Thank you.

I resolved it by obtaining a solution from Microsoft Support. I reinstalled older drivers, and now it's working fine. The new Intel driver is not supported.

Hello R_Mendis,

Thank you for your response.

Happy to hear that the issue is solved, I recommend you to contact Dell, because as per their specifications, as I mentioned before, the HDMI port of the laptop is 1920x1080 @60Hz (24 bit), so with them, you can verify if using the resolution 3840 x 2160 (30p Hz, 4K) is not going to damage the computer as is working above the specifications.

For now, we will close this thread. If you need any additional information, please submit a new question as this thread will no longer be monitored.
