Fixed aspect ratio.

[Brunjiks]

I've been trying to change my aspect ratio to 4:3, and on Intel graphics center it shows me i have a fixed aspect ratio. Is there any way to disable the fixed aspect ratio?

My device is HP Pavilion 23cw

@Brunjiks, Welcome to HP Support Community,

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

Switch to a 4:3 Resolution First

Intel won't allow aspect ratio changes unless you pick a non-native resolution.

Go to Windows Display Settings > Advanced Display Settings > Display Adapter Properties.

Under the Adapter tab > Click "List All Modes".

Select a 4:3 resolution, such as:

1024x768

1280x960

1600x1200 (if supported)

Apply the resolution.

Now re-open Intel Graphics Command Center or Control Panel — you should now see the scaling/aspect ratio options become changeable.

Open Intel Graphics Command Center > Display > Scaling

Once you're in a 4:3 resolution:

Go to Display > Scaling

Change from “Maintain Aspect Ratio” (or “Fixed Aspect Ratio”) to “Stretch” or “Center Image”.

I hope this helps.
