Accounts abd screeb resolutions interaction windows 10

Hi, I'm Robinson, and I’m happy to help you today.

Windows cannot set a specific resolution for each user by default, you will need to use a third-party tool do to it. You can use a tool called "QRes - Windows screen mode changer" and configure a task on the task scheduler to change the resolution when the user logs in.

Step 1: Download Qres

1-Download the QRes - Windows screen mode changer

Step 3: Create the Batch file

2-Enter this command:

QRes.exe /x:1680 /y:1050

Note: Replace the X and Y with the resolution that you want

3-Click on File > Save As

4-Enter a name for the folder like User1.bat, change the "Save as type" to "All files" and save it in the folder "C:\ScreenResolutionChanger-master"

Hi Robinson,

Hope I didn't offend you by shortening your name. I simply did not see it due to macular degeneration.

I used to provide feedback, but due to issues of getting old, (it happens to all of us) I just don't have the time to do tat anymore.

Thanks, Robin.

5 years ago, I would have worked through these instructions. But this this is a one time need, and not.worth the effort.

<sigh>. Never ceases to amaze me how MS can take something that should be easy for the average user to do, and keep it complicates from years ago.
