do this 

1. do ctrl+r

2. type regedit

3.Press Ctrl+F in the registry editor and do a search for display1_downscaling_supported

4.You should see a setting named “Display1_DownScalingSupported” in the right pane. Double-click it and set its value to 1.

5. Restart your computer and open the Screen Resolution window. You should be able to set your screen resolution to 1024×768, which will allow you to launch Modern apps.  NOTE: DONT CLICK SHUTDOWN CLICK RESTART

6.If you see a black screen after trying this trick, you can boot to safe mode to undo your changes.

even the authorised HP service center engineers and their managers did not have any clue about this workaround.

You Sir, deserve many more upvotes!! Registered on the forum esp to "like" your solution and to leave this comment. God Bless You!!

For peaople having trouble finding the file, here's the link, where I came across Display1_DownScalingSupported on my laptop :- Run regedit >

Computer > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > ControlSet001 > Control > Class > {4D36E968-E325......} > 0000 

Goes without saying that the Find/Search tool is far easier! 🙂

1) Run regedit
1a) If you are not on higest tree level by clicking on “Computer” from key tree
2) Search and modify all values “Display1_DownScalingSupported” from “0″ to “1″
3) Restart the system
4) Enjoy the two new resolutions: 1024×768 px and 1152×864 px

I can now easly change to higher resolutions when needed and back to 1024 x 600 for general use.    ...
