Do you have Enable GPU scaling option in your graphic card property? If it is there then set underscan to 0%. Click apply via scaling options.

Once done right click on the windows desktop. Select screen resolution and advanced settings. Select monitor and change the refresh rate to all the different rates. For each one, apply, then go back into catalyst and set the underscan setting to 0% again. Repeat for all desired combinations of resolution and refresh rate.

Hello YellowMenace

When you use the default driver, it works normally? After the Windows Update installing the WDDM 1.1 driver, the monitor resolution is changed?
Please share us a screenshot for better analyzation.

Please change the scaling option as MVP S.Sengupta mentioned.

If a new driver for your video card is causing problems, or an incorrect registry setting is preventing Windows from starting correctly, you can restart your computer using Last Known Good Configuration.
