Screen resolution messed up when I installed windows 8.1?
I just installed windows 8.1 on my brand new asus laptop. The screen resolution is horrible. I tried everything, checked 'let me choose on scaling level for all my displays', updated the Intel HD Graphics driver since it was clearly not up to date (although Windows would say it was). No matter what I do, it seems to me everything looks smaller, shrinked, if that makes any sense. I've run out of ideas, if anyone had this issue I'd appreciate a solution. Thanks.
My screen resolution won't go any lower than 1024x768 on my netbook. Is there any way to fix this?
With most of these 1024x768 screens- they can not scale lower resolutions. There are no lower resolutions with the same Aspect Ratio (height:width).Note: 1024x768 (and 10 inches) was the limit for screen resolution on early ATOM chips. Intel didn’t want to sell $30 ATOM chips and have manufacturers put them in 1920x1080p laptops and have people freak out that Intel was slow.So if you force a lower resolution, say… to play Skyrim on 800x600, you will get a floating image, and a bunch of unused screen, like this:However… you can usually tell your computer to stretch, or scale the image.Here is my Intel i5 based laptop. It’s normal resolution is 1366x76 (16:9 ratio).1366x768 Seen BelowYou can actually set it to 1024x768 (4:3) (seen below)Pretty annoying eh? Well… notice that a new option appears under SCALING (last option listed), when I drop my resolution. “Scale full screen” appears as an option above.Let’s turn on “Scale full screen”. See Below:This is the same 1024x768 image, stretched to 16:9 on my 1366x768 display. It looks better in this picture than in person.When going below 1024x768, there is likely only a few resolutions that will work. Not that you can’t try more.800x600 and 640x480 or 640x400.There IS an option to set custom resolutions- however in my experience, if it is a custom resolution- then the option to “Scale Fullscreen” will disappear from the options. Maybe someone can elaborate.
How can I take a screenshot with high resolution quality ?
As mentioned before, the quality of your screenshot depends on your display resolution.But you can upscale the screenshot of any quality and size by using, for example, Photoshop bicubic interpolation (not so sharpy and quality) or Neural network image super-resolution and enhancement the tool to increase the image size.See the Let's Enhance magic below:Before upscalingAfter upscaling4x upscale looks … interesting, doesn’t it?

How do I split my screen in Windows 10?
How to Snap Apps Side by Side in Windows 10If you're using two different apps at the same time you can "snap" them to areas of your screen, so they each consume half of it. To snap one app to the left of the screen, just use the mouse to drag the title bar of the first app to the left side of the screen.A transparent overlay will appear, showing you where the window will be placed. All you have to do is release the mouse button to snap the window there. Now, click the app that you want to see on the right side. Here you can see two apps, snapped side by side.When you snap an app with the mouse on Windows 10, the new Snap Assist feature will pop up to help you out. Windows 10 then displays a thumbnail list of your open windows. Click one thumbnail, and its app snaps to the unfiled side of the screen -- you'll likely find it to be faster and more intuitive than the Snap feature on Windows 7 and 8. But this actually isn't just limited to two apps, Windows 10 also gives you the ability to snap four windows at a time in a 2 x 2 grid. To snap a window in a 2 x 2 grid with the mouse, drag and drop it into one of the four corners of the screen. Drag-and-drop several windows in this way to get your 2 x 2 grid of open windows.Keyboard Shortcuts For Snapping Apps and Windows in Windows 10ReferencesHow to Snap Apps Side by Side in Windows 10New Keyboard Shortcuts in Windows 10
How can I adjust the length of time my computer screen stays active before switching over to screensaver mode?
In Windows 8.1 right click the "Window" when in "desktop" mode. Then left click on "Search" and type in "screen saver". This will take you to the screen saver "window" where you can set which files will be used. Back in the time when cathode ray monitors were used, you could "burn in" a display by leaving the same picture on for too long. With modern LCD monitors this is no longer a problem and screen savers are used just for "entertainment" today. It is my personal opinion that instead of making computers "easier" to use, we are making things more difficult instead! For example, Windows 8.1 is "different" than Windows 8. Which in turn is different than Windows 7. I skipped "Vista", but Windows XP is different from the previous versions of Windows 9.x that preceded it. Then Chromebooks are "different" yet, although the OS is simpler to learn. (so far, as Google will likely "upgrade" it with time)
