Create a custom resolution on Windows 10

I would like to create a custom resolution on Windows 10, but I don't find the way to do it; on Windows 7 was simple, because I click on the right button on the desktop and there was "NVIDIA control panel" or something, and from here I could create a new. I've read that Windows 10 doesn't easily allow you to do this, is there a simple way to do it?

Please edit your question to include how you created custom resolutions in Windows 7. – Steven – 2017-05-15T15:33:03.873

Have you installed the nVidia utilities for Windows 10? Are you even still using an nVidia card? – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2017-05-15T16:30:58.677

In Windows 10, go to Settings (Win+I) > System > Display > Scale and layout > Resolution. There is some list of resolution.

Resolution

To find more resolution setting, Scroll down, click on Display adapter Properties. You can see this window (this may vary if your display driver is different).

Graphics Properties

From there select List All Modes. There you can find many other Resolution options.

All Modes

There is also a 3rd party software to make custom Resolution setting:: MonitorTests:Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)

My selection in Windows does not allow me to access all the modes available in the display adapter list. I wish to get to 640x480 (for retro gaming). Any ideas? EDIT: Oops. I can set it from the display adapters page! Thank you! – Xonatron – 2018-12-02T22:33:45.327

If your resolution is not listed in the resolution options, have a look at the software of your graphics card.

In my case I could add a custom resolution in my Intel control panel: Go to "Display" -> "Custom Resolution" and enter your values there (the english words might not be accurate as I translated them. Feel free to edit if they are wrong or remove this note if they are correct).
