I recently updated to Windows 11. I have a LG 34 inch ultrawide monitor (21:9 aspect ratio, 2560x1080 resolution). Windows 11 selects the generic Pnp monitor driver, which has a max 1920x1080 resolution, so the screen is fuzzy and stretched out - really unusable. LG does not have an updated driver, Windows 11 has all updates installed has no updates available related to this driver and it will only select this as the recommended resolution.

Is there no support for 2560x1080 HDMI monitors in windows 11?

    I know about the pnp driver. I call it the picture in picture driver because it actually acts as one. I know the pnp driver forces the "desktop to have refresh issues and set a lower resolution for your desktop environment. If you uninstall the driver and reboot it will fix a few things. I know its kind of scary to think about uninstalling the driver. If you are scared to do it just hit disable to test it. I would definitely check for the lg driver even if it is an older version install it. Maybe in the box you got a cd or something that has the driver on it. If the pnp driver says Microsoft driver it is 100% the wrong driver because that is not lg.

    I have a USB-C to HDMI adapter that can support up to 4k at 60hz that solved the problem. My previous adapter could only support 4k at 30 hz and I had the same issue. I even entered the custom resolution on Intel Graphics Command Center and could not get it to work.

    I've tried everything I can think of and have had no success. I would think that Microsoft would monitor their own pages and come up with a solution.
