Question Error Code: Couldn't swtich to requested monitor resolution

[lildevi]

This the error code i'm getting everytime i tried running the game Raft. I've noticed this issue with a few other of my games showing the same or similar error code. I thought it was my laptop software but I am up to date on my Nvidia driver and my windows updates. I've gone so far as resetting my laptop to see if that would clear out the issue but nothing. Everything i've researched online has seem to help either. If anyone has any suggestion i am all ears at this point.

what laptop do you have? Its make/model might have helped

which version of windows?

1. right click start
   
2. choose run...
   
3. type winver and press enter
   
4. current version of win 10 is 22H2 & win 11 is 24H2
   

build number might help too. Its on same screen.

have you tried disabling resolution scaling?

This helped, but thought I'd add a few things:
1. After I changed to no scaling it worked (reverting to the orignal setting also worked).
2. My issue came after updating to the latest driver.

Finally for those not sure where this is at
1. Open Nvidia Control Panel
2. Under Display click on "Adjust Destkop Size And Postion"
3. Look right and there's your scaling.
