Cant change windows resolution WIN-SERVER-2016+RADEON PRO WX2100

Hey,

I cant figure this after few days working on solutions. 

I have workstation with windows server 2016+radeon pro wx2100, the machine function as a server so no monitor attached.

Cause of that i guess, i cant enlarge the resolution of windows, what cause very small view when connecting remotely.

Tried update the drivers, uninstall, reinstall but no change.

The resolution in windows is grayed out, and in AMD setting, there is nothing about it.

Any other solution that i haven't thought about?

 

Thanks

You said,  you tried update the drivers, uninstall, reinstall but no change. Which driver did you try?

Thanks @fsadough, unfortunately no change.

I can see when I connect a monitor to the GPU, the windows recognize the Adapter type:

When I disconnect the screen, the adapter type change to 'windows basic display adapter'.

I tried all what you mentioned, and no changes at all.

@fsadough I have another machine R970 with different GPU, and with the same remote connection (TIGHT VNC) i can change the resolution. The problem occur with all the machines i have (R970) and WX2100.

I just installed WX3100 (same chip as WX2100) on Win Server 2019 / 21.Q.1 driver and connecting to it using TightVNC Viewer I get the usual 1920x1200 resolution and WX3100 shows up in Device Manager/Display Adapters. Please check your system.

I have 11 machines with the same settings, same GPU, windows and same problems with all of them.

I just installed WX2100 on Win Server 2016 / 21.Q.1 driver and connecting to it using TightVNC Viewer and I get the native 2560x1440 resolution of the display attached to the GPU. WX2100 shows up in Device Manager/Display Adapters. Please make sure you have all the Windows updates and no unknown device in device manager.
