How to Change Screen Resolution in Windows 11

Adjust the number of pixels Windows uses for a display.

Quick Answer

Open Settings → System → Display → Display resolution.

Step by Step

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Select System.
  3. Select Display.
  4. If you have multiple monitors, select the display you want to change.
  5. Open Display resolution.
  6. Choose the recommended resolution unless you have a specific reason to use another one.
  7. Confirm the change.

If That Doesn't Work

  • A non-native resolution can make text or images look blurry.
  • If the screen becomes unusable, Windows normally offers a short period to revert the change.
