Cannot change resolution ( Windows 10 / Microsoft Basic Display Adapter )

Hello,
Unfortunately, I cannot change the resolution under Windows 10. When I go to the Advanced display settings, there is only one option, 1024x768, and it is grayed out / cannot be changed. When I try to check the driver, there is only "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" available. I wonder if I need to change something here.
Thank you,
Mike

 

Have the same exact problem here - Followed the first 6 threads here, no solution yet.
Help. 1024x768 isn't that useful anymore

 

Hello Harry, please follow the below steps and keep us updated on your progress:
1. Start Parallels Desktop ( Do not start Windows Virtual Machine ).
2. Go to Virtual Machine configuration > Options tab > Full Screen > From the Scale to fit screen drop-down list choose Keep ratio.
3. Go to Hardware tab > Graphics or Video > Select " Scaled " as suggested in the article.

 

I'm having the same trouble though my settings are as you posted.
Could it be, that the graphics driver is the problem? In an older mashine that I am using with windows 10, the graphics driver is "Parallels Display Adappter WDDM" and it works just fine. Now in the newly installed windows 10 (where I can only have 1024x768 resolution) the graphics driver is "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter".
Where can I get this older driver?

 

Thanx! This one helped.

 

I have Parallels/Win10 resolution issues:
I have a macbook pro circa 2014
OS Hi Sierra 10.13.6
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB & Intel Iris Pro 1536MB
Parrallels 14 and Windows 10
I can only get 1920 x 1200 in Windows 10 even though my earlier version of Parallels/Win7 could get my MacBook native resolution of 2560x1440.
I think has to do with the perfect storm of new features in Parallels and the Win10's "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" vs the "Parallels Display adaptor WDDM" of Win7
Any help would be appreciated - thanks in advance

 

Hi!
I run Windows 10 through Parallels 13 on my Mac, and need to set the resolution to 1920x1080 (scaling 100%), in order to fix a problem with a Windows-based program. I managed to set the scaling to 100% through some configuration tips here, but the resolution keeps changing as soon as I resize the Windows window. I understand this is the way it's supported to work but is there any way to fix the resolution at 1920x1080?
Would be immensely grateful for help!!

 

FYI, I found out the solution to my issue. I reinstalled Parallels Toolbox and all is good.

 

My issue got solved as well Thanks for replying!

Hi before the installation, please check this KB article about Parallels Desktop and Mac OS compatibility.
Also please use this KB article to install Windows on your Mac with Parallels Desktop.
Please let us know if it's not that case.
