Is there a working solution to set the display resolution of Windows 11 on an Azure VM?

Hello,
There is a Windows 11 installation on an Azure VM and we realized that upon boot of the Windows (with autologon), the display resolution is 1024x768. This is a low resolution for our automated UI tests to run properly.
The tests are executed after system reboot, we are not connecting with Remote Desktop during the tests. If we connect with Remote Desktop, then resolution is set as determined by Remote Desktop Configuration. However, we should not be connected with Remote Desktop during the tests, they should be running automatically after reboot of the VM.
We tried to increase the resolution via Display Settings of Windows, but that option is grayed out.
After that, we tired several registry modification options as suggested by:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1395952/how-to-change-azure-vm-resolution
None of them changed the resolution.
Any working solution suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks

# Install the module (only once, accept the prompts) Install-Module -Name DisplaySettings # Set the display resolution (during startup, possibly within a bat file) Set-DisplayResolution -Width 1920 -Height 1080
