Before You Begin
Alright, before we dive into resetting your display settings, there are a couple of things you should keep in mind.
First off, make sure you save any unsaved work before you proceed. You don’t want to lose any important documents or projects because you forgot to save!
Secondly, it’s important to understand that resetting your display settings will set everything back to default.
This means that any customizations you’ve made to your screen resolution, color calibration, or any other settings will be lost.
So, before you reset your display settings, make sure you take note of any customizations you’ve made so you can easily apply them again after you’ve reset.
With that being said, let’s move on to the step-by-step instructions! We’ll guide you through the process, but don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
Open the Display Settings
Okay, let’s get started! The first step in resetting your display settings is to access the settings themselves. And there are a couple of ways to do this on a Windows computer.
One way is through the Control Panel. Simply click on the Start menu button and type “Control Panel” in the search bar.
Once the Control Panel appears in the search results, click on it to open it. Then, click on “Appearance and Personalization” and then “Display.”
Another way is through the Settings app. Click on the Start menu button and select the gear icon to open the Settings app. Then, click on “System” and then “Display.”
Either way you choose to access the display settings, you should now be looking at a screen with several options for customizing your display. From here, you can adjust your screen resolution, color calibration, and more.
So, go ahead and take a look around the settings and familiarize yourself with the options available. Once you’re ready, we’ll move on to the next step of resetting your display settings.

Reset the Display Settings

Make sure to double-check that you want to reset your display settings before you click on the button, as it will reset all your settings to default and cannot be undone.
On earlier version of windows like Windows 7, you can reset the settings by opening the control panel and going to “Appearance and Personalization” > “Adjust screen resolution” > “Advanced settings” > click on the “List all Modes” button > find your preferred settings > “Apply” then “OK”.
