After i upgraded to win10 my screen have been changing to a fixed resolution where i can't do anything than plugging the cable out and in again to fix it. I have tried for some days now to fix it but with no luck. I hope someone can help me here.
My main screen is in the GPU and the second screen is in the CPU intel HD xxxx. It's an old screen that doesn't have hdmi or dvi only vga and the GPU doesn't have vga. I had no problems on it on windows 8 or 7. I have updated the drivers. As you can see on the picture it compresses the screen and won't budge on anything i do software wise.

Hi @dkkmartin and welcome to PCHF :)

Please go HERE and download the portable version of Speccy. Save it to somewhere you can find, locate the file and as it comes as a Zip file use your favorite unzip application to decompress it. Open the newly created folder and double left click Speccy.exe if you have a 32 bit system or Speccy64.exe if yours is 64bit. If you are not sure what your system is click HERE.

Speccy will open and after a short wait will display a summary of your system specs.
[*]Click on the file menu.
[*]Then click Publish snapshot.

A dialogue box will ask you to confirm, select yes.

Another dialogue box will open
[*]Click Copy to Clipboard.
[*]Then click Close.

Now that your link has been copied please paste it into your next post. It should look something like the example below :)

BTW: once you have finished with speccy and no longer want it removing it is easy because it is a portable app with no install. Simply delete the downloaded file and folder you created when you decompressed it. Gone:thumbsup:

I see your GPU is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060.

Have you tried going to a nearby computer store and purchasing a DVI to VGA adapter? They do make that for older monitors on newer cards. An adapter fixing the issue solves the problem. If it doesn't, that means a software or hardware issue. But knowing exactly what will require further diagnostics.
