Unable to get correct screen resolution after 1607 Update - Microsoft Community

hello,

i upgraded windows 10 1607 , noticed 2 problems after upgrade. notably, same problems had after previous upgrade in april 2016, resolved after update within few weeks (i posted them in forum @ time: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-update/microsoft-wants-to-know-anyone-seeing-issues-with/8cc2af67-d1ef-43d8-8658-b5c5a69be530)

1. preferred monitor resolution longer available. have hp compaq la2006x preferred resolution of 1600 x 900. no longer option under "display settings," closest can come 1400 x 900. reinstalled driver, did not help. graphics card ati radeon hd 4200, when check update says updated driver installed.

2. not problem, observation: have several programs on taskbar. if have multiple of programs running, program in foreground have gray box around taskbar icon, same before. programs running in background, there nothing around icon distinguish them  unopened programs, have same flat quality around icon. also, if program not pinned taskbar opened, icon appears on taskbar usual, again there nothing around icon indicate program running, or distinguish icon representing program pinned taskbar not opened/not running. don't know if intentional design decision or indicates else amiss.

thanks,

ryan
